Roll20’s RPG Character Sheets Translation(Blog) February 2024

CrowdIn

CrowdIn Wikipedia-Black-W.png is a company Roll20 uses for organizing the internal & crowd-sourced translations of the Platform's menus & Character Sheets.

If you want to translate character sheets, go to roll20.crowdin.com, join it, and start submitting translations. Sheet Translations are split into two projects:

Roll20 usually updates translations once a week(Tuesday), taking all the changes suggested through CrowdIn, and sends them to Github. Changes submitted through CrowdIn are therefore never updated immediately, but take time until Roll20 have reviewed the changes. Expect to wait around a week before your suggested translations have gone live on Roll20.

Translation Menu

Tranlsation Menu Overview

Crowdin-translation-menu.png
  • Center Top: Shows the original version of this word/string. Usually English
  • Center Middle: Where you write the new translation
  • Center Bottom: Shows the current translation(if any), and how the same word/string have been translated in other languages
  • Right Side: Any discussions on translating this word/string, useful for making notes for the future if someone later opens the same word.
  • Left side: Shows the list of word/strings for the section you're viewing at the moment. Instances that have been translated have a green marker next to them, while untranslated entires are marked red.

Character Sheet Translation

  • Updating Translations: If a character sheet already have translation.json files on GitHub and you want to provide/update translations for it, you should submit them through CrowdIn, and not to make a PR to GitHub. Roll20 have some automated processes for pulling translations from CrowdIn, which overrides/interferes with any changes submitted to github.
  • Requesting Translations: You can post in the latest Sheet Requests-thread to request translation capabilities to be added to a sheet.
  • Add Translation Support to Existing Sheet: Character Sheet Translation have info on how to update a character sheet to have translation capabilities, if it previously didn't have them. It also has a section for making language-specific changes to character sheet looks, such as changing the width of a span so a longer word in another language doesn't get obscured, or to change images/logos depending on which language is used.
