We hope that by making this project open and extensible we will invite not only contributions of board pinouts, but translations too. +#Reportting + +If you've spotted an error, ommission or have a suggestion, raise an [issue](https://github.com/Gadgetoid/Pinout.xyz/issues). Feedback on every aspect of the site or this repository is welcome! + #Contributing -If you have a board you'd like to contribute, raise an [issue](https://github.com/Gadgetoid/Pinout.xyz/issues) and we'll consider it! +If you have a board you'd like to contribute, the preferred method for submission is to create modified version of [template](https://github.com/Gadgetoid/Pinout.xyz/blob/master/draft/overlay/template.md) and create a pull request. Please ensure the files you submit are being pushed to the `/draft` folder, where it will be reviewed before publication. Note that as part of the submission, a top-down view of the board in the form of a [png](https://github.com/Gadgetoid/Pinout.xyz/blob/master/draft/overlay/template.png) is expected, although optional. If you can't produce the png file yourself, just duplicate and rename `template.png` but make sure to include a url somewhere in the overlay where we can fetch a suitable graphic. -If you've spotted an error, ommission or have a suggestion then you're welcome to do the same. +If you feel that the requirements for submissions is beyond your current possibilities, you may raise an [issue](https://github.com/Gadgetoid/Pinout.xyz/issues) instead and we'll consider it! #Translating -The contents of this GitHub repository are used to build http://pinout.xyz and its translated subdomains. +If you would like to provide support for a language not yet in the repository you should start by duplicating the `src/en` directory to the appropriate language-code. For example, if you want to create a Czech translation you would create the folder `src/cs`. Note that there are no plans to support cultures (it would just get out of hand!), so you can't have `src/fr-CA` ( sorry! ). + +The first resources we recommend you translate are the language specific strings found in the `settings.yaml` file and the `footer.html` template, as well as the content of the `/pin` folder. Once that's done, rename the `/overlay` folder to `/translate` and start translating the boards markdown files (pick any you fancy translating, it does not have to be the first board in alphanumerical order). Leave those translations in the `/translate` folder when finished. Please do not attempt to translate the `/resources` folder, or anything not specifically mentioned in this paragraph - all files outside your *<languagecode>* directory is shared between the subdomains and should be generic.
