As policy we don't include a language in Signal until it has at least
80% of strings translated. We don't currently remove languages that fall
below that threshold.
There are two things that must happen to add a localization in Signal.
1. Pull the Localizable.strings from transifex for each language, add
them to git.
2. Add the localization to the Xcode project file
These four languages were in the repository (step 1) but not properly
added to the project file (step 2):
- khmer (km)
- lithuanian (lt)
- hebrew (he)
- persian (fa)
Of these, only khmer and lithuanian were sufficiently translated, so I
added them properly to the Xcode project file, making them available to
our users.
To make this process slightly easier to track in the future, I've
removed the insufficiently complete `he` and `fa` files from the
repository. Once they fall above 80% translated they will be
automatically downloaded by our sync-translations script, appearing as
new files, being the cue to the developer to add those new translations
to the project (step 2).
Note: the fa/he translations were never available to users, so we're not
going removing anyones existing functionality.
// FREEBIE
* use page view controller
* UIPageControl instead of arrows for idiomatic swiping
* Nudge title lower
* better hit area for dismiss
* use darker blue for text
* Open privacy settings from callkit update screen
* tweak copy
* latest translations
// FREEBIE
* show better errors if it *does* happen.
If someone tries to send from their old device, they'll see a
depressing, but sensible warning message.
* new translations
// FREEBIE
- Update translations
- Updated transifex scripts to convert appropriately
- Run script from any dir
- Check that target directories exist
- We're currently not pulling any strings from JSQMVC
UTF-8 is preferred since we can see diffs in GH and have sane merges.
// FREEBIE
* Spruce up compose contact-picker
- Fix random sorting for contacts missing first or last name
- Add Avatar to contact picker
- de-dupe contacts
Better copy for INVALID_MESSAGE error.
// FREEBIE
When your partner changes their identity key (e.g. by reinstalling),
you'll see a notice alongside their message, but it will no longer
prevent the message from showing. aka "non blocking".
Existing users will be opted into the previous blocking behavior.
This is configurable for all users in Settings > Privacy.
// FREEBIE
This action was previously hidden under a secret longpress gesture in
the fingerprint view controller.
Ideally we'd never receive corrupted messages, but at the point we do,
our sessions are out of whack, and the only recovery option is to reset.
Let's help our users do that.
* Resetting session sends END_SESSION message
Otherwise the remote side wouldn't know we reset the session and will
send us a message on the old ratchet.
* Don't reset their identity key when resetting sender ratchet.
* Updated translations
// FREEBIE
* lighter tint for icons, their bold stroke width makes them darker than
the text
* Replace double hourglass icons with a single one. It aligns better,
and the "small time" vs "big time" is confusing
* Add description of what disappearing messages do
// FREEBIE
* Per thread settings menu accessed by tapping on thread title
This removed the toggle-phone behavior. You'll be able to see the phone
number in the settings table view.
This removed the "add contact" functionality, although it was already
broken for ios>=9 (which is basically everybody).
The group actions menu was absorbed into this screen
* Added a confirm alert to leave group (fixes#938)
* New Translation Strings
* Extend "Add People" label to fit translations.
* resolved issues with translations not fitting in group menu
* Fix the long standing type warning where TSCalls were assigned to a TSMessageAdapter.
* Can delete info messages
Follow the JSQMVC pattern and put UIResponder-able content in the
messageBubbleContainer. This gives us more functionality *and* allows us
to delete some code. yay!
It's still not yet possible to delete phone messages. =(
* Fixed some compiler warnings.
* xcode8 touching storyboard. So long xcode7!
* Fixup multiline info messages.
We were seeing info messages like "You set disappearing message timer to
10" instead of "You set disappearing message timer to 10 seconds."
Admittedly this isn't a very good fix, as now one liners feel like they
have too much padding.
If the message is well over one line, we were wrapping properly, but
there's a problem when the message is *just barely* two lines, the cell
height grows, but the label still thinks it's just one line (as evinced
by the one line appearing in the center of the label frame. The result
being that the last word of the label is cropped.
* Disable group actions after leaving group.
// FREEBIE
* New bg (Bulgarian) localization!
* New sq (Albanian) localization!
* replace unfinished bg_BG localization with complete bg localization
* caps keys to make it easier to see missing localizations
* pull with newly pushed source keys
// FREEBIE
* modify script to fetch all uploaded translations.
Otherwise we don't always get the latest translations.
This might be because we're only fetching "reviewed" translations, but
so-far-so-good with unreviewed translations, and we don't have a real
"reviewing" hierachy in place anyway. This policy might change in the
future, but at least now it's not ambiguous.
// FREEBIE
* latest translations
* Update translations (4 new translations!)
*New Translations*
- Persian (fa) (100%)
- Indonesian (id) (82%)
- Macedonian (Macedonia) (mk_MK) 100%
- Shona (sn) 98%
Inluded a script to pull translations that are >=80% complete
80% is completely arbitrary, but nicely bisects the current translation
efforts which fall into buckets of "over 80%" and "under 50%."
// FREEBIE
* final tx pull before push source
//FREEBIE
* tx pull, after updating source (plus some eager beavers already pushed new translations)
iStringVerify passes
* Make "add person" label more i18n flexible
This accommodates (e.g.) Italian, which was being truncated.
// FREEBIE
* Galician localization
Moitas grazas xesusmosquera!
// FREEBIE
* i18n for Unarchive action
started leaving hints for our translators. These are currently manually
redundantly duplicated in the source/strings file, in hopes of a more
automated future with genstrings.
// FREEBIE
* include iStringsVerify check in update-translations script
and pull latest translations after including UNARCHIVE action
// FREEBIE
* i18n GROUP_MEMBERS_HEADER
//FREEBIE
* pull translations
- Removes large confusing UX bar and related assets. Replaced with UISwitch.
- Enhanced user experience for missed calls.
- Fixes issue where missed call would appear as incoming call in call log.
- Fixing issues where PushKit handler not called on launch.
