Bom dia! Guten Tag! こんにちは！ Bonjour! 👋

We need your help translating ParaView! 🫵

The translation effort has been going slowly these last few months, but we are slowly getting closer to the threshold to enable some languages in the ParaView binary release! 🌐

[https://weblate.kitware.com/languages/](https://weblate.kitware.com/languages/)

Languages that manage to get their main “UI Component” translated and 20% translation overall could be enabled!

So if you speak 🇫🇷 French 🇫🇷, 🇧🇷 Portugese (Brazil) 🇧🇷 , 🇩🇪 German 🇩🇪, or 🇯🇵 Japanese 🇯🇵, please consider helping us translate ParaView. We can get there together.

During the last week, for some reason, Firefox 128.0 has been unable to connect to the server at [https://weblate.kitware.com/](https://weblate.kitware.com/) in my computer. Would anybody mind confirming if this issue exists?

Thanks for your reply. I have still no access to the website. I have tried openSUSE Leap 15.5+Firefox 126.0.1 (64-bit), Android 14+Firefox 128.0.3, Windows 11 + Microsoft Edge 127.0.2651.74. All with different connections. I wonder if anbody else experiencing this issue as well?

Also, is there any procedure/possibility to push the changes via a git branch instead of typing the changes manually?

Yes, you can contribute to [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-translations](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-translations) directly but the syntax is quite verbose to contribute manually.

Ok, please create your own fork and create a MR when you want to add translations, and ping me 🙂
