Viewing the translations
NOTE: The translations will be saved for later on as they are not currently being used in CritiqueBrainz. A patch is on its way to restore this feature though.
Development
The CritiqueBrainz server code is using gettext to provide with automatic translation of messages and texts used in the Python code and Jinja2 HTML templates.
A POT file is provided with all the strings used in the server. They are in English.
See developer documentation at:
- https://critiquebrainz.readthedocs.io/intro.html#modifying-strings
- https://critiquebrainz.readthedocs.io/translation.html
Beyond translation
- CritiqueBrainz supports writing reviews in an auto-detected/manually selectable language.
