Add Sinhala language about flarum-translations HOT 9 CLOSED

Flarum relies on language packs, which are Composer packages. Adding language to Weblate is not enough, you still need Composer package and maintainer to review translations and tag new releases. If you have such package, here are steps to add new language to Weblate: https://github.com/rob006-software/flarum-translations/wiki/How-to-start

Why this instance doesn't host under flarum.org subdomain?

I guess it is ok to use gitlab repository. i saw you've account in it https://gitlab.com/rob006 and will try to provide necessary details soon (within some hrs)

I would prefer GitHub - so far there were no GitLab-based language packs and I'm not sure what kind of problems may pop up. But if you want to use GitLab, please grant write permissions to https://gitlab.com/robbot006 - I don't want to use my main account for pushing updates.

You don't need to copy anything from this repo. Translations are exported automatically by bot from this repo (managed by Weblate) to your language pack. All you need is basic skeleton - composer.json, extend.php and locale/config.js. All locale/*.yml files will be generated by bot after subsplit setup.

@rob006 added gitlab account then now you have necessary access 😊

OK, it seems to work - language is available on Weblate and translations are exported to language pack repo.

Note that you need to register your language pack at https://packagist.org/ and tag new release in order to make it visible by composer require command.

I'm closing this issue, since it looks like there is nothing more to do here. But if you have any questions, feel free to ask here or on forum.

@rob006 sorry, i was bit busy. registered language pack at packagist and started discussion for it on flarum. still have to do anything? 😆

Thank you for the help to set-up language pack and keep maintain the weblate instance for everyone 😊

No, it should be enough. Just remember to tag new release when you made new translations in the future - by default Composer installs only stable releases from tags, so if you translate something now, Composer will still install old v0.1.0 version and ignore all new translations. You need to tag v0.1.1 to mark new translations as stable.

You may also want o set up auto update, so Packagist will detect new releases faster: https://packagist.org/about#how-to-update-packages
