JOSM I18n contest 2025

[stoecker]

The situation of JOSM translations is not acceptable since several years. The JOSM I18N contest is an attempt to fix this situation:

If you are willing to help, see Translations (and the statistics table linked there) for instructions or ask in this ticket.

If your language reached 100%, there is still our help wiki needing translations: Translations/Wiki.

Note for English speakers: When you can't translate, you can help nevertheless: There are many help pages missing or needing review and improvement, see DevelopersGuide/HelpSystem/HelpTopicsList or OutdatedPages.

This ticket should be used to track progress. For the contest I'll focus on the JOSM core translations, but I hope that also means the other places when JOSM needs I18n support aren't ignored.

I'll try to report progress here each or every second week as long as there is progress.

This week: Australian reached 100%. Progress for Welsh and Norwegian. Smaller progress for some other languages. Also some minor changes for not yet supported languages.

Translators of the complete languages did maintain the state and added new strings (except French, which lacks behind again :-).

I also noted some new updates to the wiki (e.g. German, Japanese). Not to forget Dutch and French in Wiki which are perfectly cared for!

Again: Thanks to all contributors.

[stoecker]

Little progress this week (ja, nb, pl). A new language (Georgian) improved, but didn't reach the minimum amount yet.

I've been translating en_CA for the last few weeks. I increased the progress from < 5% when I started to 43% now, referencing ​the Canadian Oxford dictionary.

[stoecker]

I've seen. But as we had some trouble with the en_CA misused for "simple English" in the past I thought I wait a bit longer to include it, when it nears completion. (English variants have a bit easier life than others :-)

Thought I already did first tests of i18n integration for en_CA and ka (Georgian) ...

News this week:

• Norwegian is complete
• Canadian was added (complete), still some plugin texts missing thought...
• A lot of progress for Greek
• A little progress for Polish
