Added Albanian language translation #1334
Conversation
Added Albanian language translation in .po file format. Full translation with official Albanian language. No specific dialects used.
I hate to do that, but I'm afraid that I am going to have to reject that request. As explained in the FAQ, the only languages that I accept for localization of the Rufus applications are languages for which a fully localized version of Windows exists. And if you look at the Language versions for full locations of Windows here, you'll see that, unfortunately, Albanian is not on that list. Also, translating Rufus to a new language is not a matter of just adding a new Now, you may be wondering: "But what harm could adding a new language do, when someone's already done all the work?", to which I will indicate that:
Therefore, despite your kind proposal and, no doubt, all the hard work you put in it, I see no other alternative but to refuse this pull request. I'm very sorry to have to do that, but I hope that you can understand the reasons I have for doing so. I will also advise you, next time you want to propose to help a project, to maybe try to contact its developers first, to see if they will be able to accept your proposal, as one need to be careful to see Open Source projects as places that will accept new feature after new feature. Instead, I would assert that, a well maintained Open Source project will often set limits with regards to what they are ready to accept as contributions, and what they will reject, so that the project remains manageable, and therefore, if you are planning to invest a good chunk of your time on a proposal, you may want to check that it doesn't fall into the "will be rejected" category. So, once again, I'm really sorry to have to reject this pull request, and I especially hope that it won't discourage you from wanting to contribute to other Open Source projects, as we can always use some help! |
Thank you for your clarification. I indeed read the FAQ and the rest of the documentation but did not notice only the only important note in which you define the fully supported localized languages. That is an attention issue I would say since I didn't notice it and is my problem. I'm not requesting anything particular i did my work and I liked it once I have some free time I will compile Rufus and try it on Windows 10 to see if it works in an not fully localized language. |
Thanks for understanding. I can only commend you for being willing to give something back the Open Source projects you find useful — We definitely need more people like you! I hope this experience won't put you off from using Rufus. I promise I'll do my best so that you continue to find Rufus useful in the future (even if its UI is not in Albanian)... |
