CrowdIn

Main page for Roll20's CrowdIn

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

To gain access to Roll20's translation projects, you need a CrowdIn account & join the 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.

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.
- To find if a Roll20 community-contributed sheet already support translations, see roll20 community sheets and search for the sheet
- All "by Roll20"-sheets supports translations, which can be found here: Official Roll20 sheet translations

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.
