Translations In Progress

The translations in progress by the Confluence community are listed below. These langauge packs have not yet been migrated to the Atlassian Plugin Exhcange, and should be migrated by the respective plugin owners. Click on a language to view the translation text.

How do I contribute to a translation?

Anyone may view or contribute to a translation. To prevent changes from being lost, always start by using the in-progress translation and commit any updates you make back to the in-progress translation. Once you have finished with the translation, be sure to upload it to the Atlassian Plugin Exhcange If you would like to test the translation in a Confluence instance, you will need to package the translation into a language pack (described below.

How To Create a New Translation

If you don't see the translation you need above, you may wish to start your own:

  1. Check out the technical overview of Language Packs.
  2. Follow the guide to creating a new language plugin. If you'd like to share the translation task with other Confluence users who speak your language, then consider posting a notice in Atlassian Answers.
  3. Optionally, you share your new translation with the community. If the translation is complete, check out How To Share A Language Pack.

Creating a Language Pack

To create a new language pack from a translation in progress, you will need to package a translation into a language pack. A language pack is essentially a Confluence plugin.

Follow the guide to creating a new plugin, but instead of editing the ConfluenceActionSupport.properties file, you can open the page for your unpackaged translation and insert the text content from there. You may also need to update the i18n properties files for each of the Confluence bundled plugins, depending on how your language pack is set up.

If the translation for your language pack appears complete, you may wish to share it.

Sharing a Language Pack

If you wish to share a language pack with other users, you can do so by adding it to the Atlassian Plugin Exchange

Reporting Issues with Translations

Don't hesitate to report issues with translations in our Translation Issue Tracker. If you feel issues are more relevant to the product then create a specific bug on the appropriate product Issue Tracker.

    I have to tell you that editing remotely the 270K page and submitting the changes, is a little bit hard, especially if I'm working from home, where I don't have much of a bandwidth. Maybe if you could break the file into more manageable chunks would ease things a bit.

    Cheers, A.

      You can always edit a local file and then cut and paste when you are done. However, a better suggestion would be to just make these attachments.

      1. May 13, 2006

        Aggelos T. Paraskevopoulos

        Of course we can, but then the whole idea of collaborative editing is lost. Of course I wouldn't expect more than one person editing the file at the same time, at least for the Greek language (smile) But for the other languages I think it poses a problem.

          Confluence notifies you when other people are editing the same page, and in the case of multiple simultanious changes (or changes since you hit the edit button) it allows you to merge the changes (or overwrite them).

            Aggelos T. Paraskevopoulos

            That was exactly my comment, I don't think merging is supported when posting an attachment right? For now then, we' ll stick to local editing and posting. In merge we trust!

              You can now edit from the safety of a spreadsheet editor, with colour coding. You can leave the page in edit while you make your changes to let others know if youd like. Check here for info

    I have just created an updated german translation (uploaded it to the appropriate page). When doing the translation, I noted that I do not understand quite  few parts of the process ...

    • How do I know which strings are new / changed in newer versions? Ie. do the english strings sometimes change in newer versions?
    • Is there a way to properly translate plugins? It is nice to have Confluence translated properly, but it is still very confusing for the users that some parts are in english. 

    If this sounds strange for you: I have some Unix (GNU) gettext background, so this way of translating strings is still very new to me ...

    1. Oct 09, 2006

      David Peterson [CustomWare]

      Both good questions. Can't help with the first one, although I'm interested to hear if you have any suggestions from your prior experience.

      With the latter, very few plugins are translatable. I'm not even sure what the recommended way of providing language support is. I'm currently right in the middle of doing my own setup for making the Calendar Plugin i18n-friendly, but the only support there is people putting a file in WEB-INF/classes in the right place, which is not idea. It would be nice if you could upload translations for plugins too...

      Any words from Atlassian here?

    Anyone "out there" working on a Swedish translation?

    I suggest, that we define a file-name for the latest translation-jar attached to the several translation-pages. In the part Language-Pack-Plugins above, we then could link to that filename and will ever have the latest packaged.

    I think it is confusiong only to see the russian and english translation that is not the latest.

    What do you think?

    1. Mar 06, 2007

      David Soul [Atlassian]

      I have changed the naming convention so that there is only a single reference for each language pack.

    I've just started testing the French language pack plugin on Confluence v2.3.1, and so far I can see that the work has been VERY well done -- a MAJOR improvement to the (previously) painful translation process!!! The following questions come to my mind:

      1) How will the language packs be co-ordinated with Confluence versions? (For instance, I notice the pack version updated on March 05, 2007 does not include translations for v2.3.x novelties such as Activity reports and Plugin Repository.)

      2) Will there be a way to help improve the language pack, e.g. by providing strings for areas that aren't translated yet? (I'm thinking right now of the Page Search screens, where {$lang_conflink_ABC} appears instead of a translation.)

      3) Finally, a few bugs appear only when the French language is activated. For instance, errors occur when using links that execute the following actions:
      -  /admin/browseiconmappings.action
      -  /renderer/notationhelp.action
      Should I report those through the normal Atlassian Support System, at https://support.atlassian.com/ ?

    Thanks again for the great work,
    Normand Brousseau

      The professional language packs are updated every quarter. So there may be a delay between a Confluence release and an language pack update.

      In the mean time feel free to open issues as per instructions in the section above (I just added the section).

      When you find a bug in Confluence (or any other product) that shows only when a language pack is activated please file an issue against the product issue tracker making sure to mention the language pack you use to reproduce the problem. We will then include bugs in our normal bug fixing process.

      Thanks,

    I have translated Confluence to Spanish (es_ES) and we are starting to test the translation in our 2.4.3 Confluence Instalation. I will upload the file after a little bit testing!

    Peter R.

    I note that US English is now listed as "final". Will someone be converting to a JAR and replacing the existing Partial pack? I'm not comfortable with doing it myself. Thank you.

      So that's a "no", then? (wink)

    Hello,
    I have seen, their exists a Portugese (Brazil) Translation for Confluence 2.5.6. Have anybody tested this Language Pack with Confluence 2.8? We use version 2.8.2 and are interested in this Translation. Thanks. Felix 

    1. Oct 09, 2008

      Fabio Paiano

      This would also interest my company. Is there any chance that Atlassian would make the brazilian portuguese translation an officialy supported translation?

  10. Mar 02, 2009

    Boots Wang [atlassian]

    If you just want to offer option to translate pages, you can use the translation widget from widget box:

    Example: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/~ewang/Google+Translate!

    What is the difference between translation_en_US_partial.jar & language-en_US_partial-1.2.jar? Is one of them the preferred option?

  12. Aug 13, 2009

    Maleko Taylor [Atlassian]

    There is one hard-coded link in the original language-en_US_partial-1.2.jar that breaks in Confluence 3.0. I have attached a minor updated version that you can use in Confluence 3.0, language-en_US_partial-1.2.1.jar. Updated

    to

    This error most likely also affects every other translation on this page.

    The japanese language pack bullet tells me to see Atlassian Japan for more information, however I don't read Japanese. Is there information I need to know on that site in order to install this language pack? 

    1. Mar 29, 2010

      Sean Osawa [Atlassian]

      I do not think we have any special procedure to install Japanese language pack comparing with other languages. Please try it and if you have any problems, let me know. Or if you bought the license through Japanese partners, you can ask a support from Atlassian Japan (contact at atlassian dot co dot jp).

      1. Mar 18, 2010

        Richard Smith

        OK, I'll try it on my dev machine and have some people here poke at it. I probably wouldn't be able to spot a problem anyhow.

    Italy could be a big market for confluence, but is there an Italian language pack (also community sponsored, or partially built so that I can contribute to it?)

    To me is a big show-stopper for purchasing licenses.

    thanks

    Axel

    hmm ... Language packs...

    is it possible to use german umlauts like "ä", "ö", or "ü" after installing the german language pack?

    or is it just a translation ?
