How to Translate Your Jira
By default, Catalan Translate for Jira comes with a base dictionary that includes some basic translations to provide users with an initial version of Jira in Catalan right from the start.
To begin translating your Jira, go to Apps -> Catalan Translate for Jira, and in the left-hand menu, select the “Pending” option. (If you haven’t configured the Addon yet, please follow these instructions).
In this tab, you will see all the words that are pending translation into Catalan. Translating to Catalan is as easy as finding the word you want to translate (in the Key column), typing the word you want to display instead in the Translation field, and adding that translation to the dictionary. Once this is done, the word moves to the Translated dictionary, which you can view in the “Translations” tab.
Remember to click the “Sync Dictionary” button to send this information to all users.

Don’t have anything to translate?
Catalan Translate for Jira uses a Chrome or Edge extension to collect all the Jira texts that have not yet been translated. This functionality ensures that no text is forgotten in the translation process.

Default dictionary
Once the add-on is installed and synchronized, we can start with the default dictionary by going to: Dictionary → Restore default dictionary:
...
This will create a basic translation for the customer portal.

It will only work if the user’s language is set to English; for other languages, you will need to create your own translations. |
You can also export and import a JSON dictionary.
After that, you need to manually sync using the 'Sync with Atlassian' button, or wait one hour for the automatic sync. This video shows the process for the default dictionary:

Make new translations
In the previous video, we showed that the customer portal is translated. However, for example, in the profile menu, 'Create a help center' is not translated. Let’s address this:
First, we need to activate detection mode by going to: Configuration → Enable detection:
...
Once it’s enabled, we go to the portal to find the text that is not translated. We need to make sure that the status is set to ON:
...
We reload the page and display the dropdown menu. The extension will detect the new text, and in the next automatic or manual sync, it will appear in Pending Translations.
...
Then, we enter the desired translation and click Save.
...
In the Translation menu, we will find the new translation, where we can update or discard it.
...
Now we can perform another sync to communicate with the extension, and we will find the text translated.

Please allow 2-3 minutes for the new translation to appear. This delay is to prevent overloading Jira with every new translation. |
