# 🌏 Zed Translation

<p align="center">
English | <a href="README_CN.md">简体中文</a>
</p>

This repository provides a translation for the awesome [Zed Editor](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed). If you'd
like to translate Zed into any language, please
follow [this guide](https://github.com/Nriver/zed-translation#how-to-translate). Currently, I have translated Zed into
Chinese.

Star this repository if you like it, thanks :)

# 🔔 Statement

# 📚 How to use

1. Download the latest [Release](https://github.com/Nriver/zed-translation/releases) that suits your computer system.
2. Execute it (`zed` for Linux).
3. Enjoy :)

---

# 🌐 How does the translation work

It downloads the source code from the latest Zed official release and uses regular expressions to replace UI text in
each file. Then, it compiles the translated files back into the package. Done.

---

# 🌐 How to translate

First, make sure you can compile Zed. See https://zed.dev/docs/development/linux

Install Python 3.

Install the requirements.

```commandline
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

If you want to translate it to other languages, copy `translations.py` and rename it with the language name,
e.g., `translations_cn.py`. Then translate everything in it.

Change the `LANG` in `settings.py`.

Execute these commands to translate and compile Zed.

```commandline
python3 1.init.py
python3 2.trans.py
python3 3.make_release.py
```

You will get the translated Zed executable.

# 🛑 Limitations

- Some prompt message box fonts are hard-coded and do not follow the font settings. I'll post an issue on Zed.
- I do not have a Mac computer, so I cannot provide a MacOS build. Maybe I'll use GitHub Actions to build it in the
  future.
