Changing Languages

To change the interface language:

The application will immediately update the UI strings. Your language preference is saved to your local settings and will persist across app restarts.

Contributing Translations

Most translations in Mesh-Client are initially machine-generated using MyMemory. We rely on community contributions to improve translation quality and accuracy.

Reporting an Error

If you find a mistranslation or an awkward phrasing:

  1. Go to the Mesh-Client Issues page.
  2. Open a new Translation Error issue.
  3. Provide the current text and your suggested correction.

Adding a New Language

If you would like to help us add support for a new language:

  1. Check existing issues to see if someone is already working on it.
  2. Open a Feature Request specifically for the new language.
  3. We will help you set up the initial locale files and guide you through the translation process.

Offline Support

Translations are bundled as static JSON files within the application. Unlike many web apps, Mesh-Client does not make network calls to fetch translations at runtime. This ensures that the interface remains in your preferred language even when you are operating off-grid or in environments with no internet access.
