Translation contributions

Each H5P contains it's own translation-files. If you need to translate an H5P to a language which is not supported, we would be happy to support you.

The current language files are found on github, where each H5P content type has it's own repository (e.g: https://github.com/h5p/h5p-drag-question). The language files are found in the language folder within each repository. By using pull requests, you may add new translation files. We also accept uploading new files in this forum.

When we get new translation-files from the community, we will create a new release of the H5P content type containing the new/updated translation, and publish it here on h5p.org.

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a specific timeframe between translation strings updates? I submitted translations for Khmer language for all content types about two months ago and still looking forward to seeing it included in the libraries.

Hi sokunthearithmakara,

Would you mind providing the URLs of your PRs so that I can follow up with the H5P core team?

Translations are released on a regular basis, usually once a month. You can reference this page updates.

Hi,

Here's the link to the translation progress page, which contains the links to the language files in the libraries: https://localization.h5p.org/km/

Hi sokunthearithmakara,

Looking at the PRs they have been checked and merged with the master file. It should be included in the next update but I'm not sure about the timeline. However I will follow up with the person in charge of releasing updates if he can release these separately.

Thanks, BV. Appreciate it very much if you could notify the person in charge. It's been two releases since I submitted the translations.

Hi BV,

Looks like your team won't be releasing the Khmer language any time soon. Can you point me to the part on developer documentation (if any) on how to include the language file in the libraries? I might need to execute this myself.

I have recently started using H5P on a Swedish WP website that I'm creating. There was no Swedish translation file included when I installed the Plugin but for some content types (for example interactive video) there is a Swedish translation. Is anybody working on completing the Swedish translation. I'm willing to contribute and would like to get in contact with Swedish members of the H5P community.

Hi Sigfus! Yep, we're putting some effort into trying to translate H5P into Swedish here at Xtractor. We would absolutely appreciate any contributions and to get in contact. One way would be if you could write something in our contact form at xtractor.se: https://xtractor.se/kontakt/

I am able to find the lang file on the GitHub and they, but I don't know how to download the lang file and upload to my wp H5p folder. Can someone point me to some instructions on how to do so?

Hi epirir!

Currently you can't. It's provided by the H5P Hub server.

Hi, I translated all H5p.MultiChoice strings 5 month ago into persian(fa) and pushed it to github through weblate. The translation was validated and is now in the language folder. But after 5 month still there is no persian language to choose from the list in the h5p MultiChoice Text Overrides section in moodle. Also there are other translations that I've made which were validated in github but not available through moodle h5p activities text overrides. Any ideas why the language packs don't show up? BTW I updated all language packs and purged caches in moodle 3.10

Hi ms930,

You need to first make sure that the update has been released. You can check the Release Overview page for the list of updates. If the update has been released please update the content type/s that have the new language.

Thank you, I didn't know the updates take that long to be released. It's been 6 months!

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a list of H5P activities and the corresponding 'library_id' in the table 'mdl_hvp_libraries_languages'.

I would like to insert language json files into the database myself and I need the librairy_id for Multichoice or other activity types for that.

Because it takes too long for a new release to be available on the H5P hub.

Hi ms930!

What's wrong with the "mdl_hvp_libraries" table that you can join with?

Best,

Hi otacke, translations for some languages are missing, so in order to insert new language json as a new row in the table I need library_id for each activity type. For example for Multichoice there is no farsi translation, so I created a new row with the corresponding json file content on github and I put library_id=22. In order to find library_id I have to check other rows and it would have been much easier if I had library_id for each activity type

Best,

Mahdi

Hi mahdi!

I understood what you were looking for: All the information that you need IS in the table "mdl_hvp_libraries".

Best,

Oliver
