Help translate

Our translations are managed via Crowdin, a translation management platform. It is free to join and you can volunteer to translate parts of the web site.

Crowdin project

The project below contains the resources from https://www.pxt.io and the menu items of https://pxt.microbit.org.

If you want to help translating the editor, please sign in to Crowdin and send us a translator request.

Translating the editor interface

The editor interface strings, like the "Download" button are in the strings.json file. Start by updating this file to translate the UI.

To test your changes "live", use beta build and the ?livelang=CODE query argument where CODE is your language ISO code. For example, to see the french translations:

Note that there may be a delay of up to 5 minutes before your changes in Crowdin make it into the "live" view.

Translating the blocks and reference documentation

You will find package files under /microbit , one for the block definition and one for the descriptions:

  • core-strings.json: contains the block definitions
  • core-jsdoc-strings.json: contains the descriptions

The block definition should be carefully translated using the block definition syntax.
