As it was announced by Nick Sellen at the Berlin Hackathon, the development of the foodsharing.de platform is reopened, because
This site deserves more developer love.
To keep all interested parties up-to-date there is the foodsharing devblog. For developer comfort this blog gets translated via gitlab. It's actually pretty simple, just follow the steps described below and/or watch the detailed tutorial video made by Tilmann, and you're good to go!
For any additional questions, honest feedback or just a casual chat, feel free to contact us in #translation on Slack!
Get access
- Go to https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in and log in (multiple options available).
At the first time only, you have to request access to the repository. - Go to gitlab.com/foodsharing-dev/foodsharing-dev.gitlab.io/ and press "Request Access". Wait for someone to approve you.
Prepare translation

- Pick the thing you want to translage (Target language is marked)click "assign yourself" under assignee at the right
- Click Project, click Files, click _posts
- Find & click the original filename (The issue is named like that, style is Year-Month-Day-name)
- Click "Raw" and copy all the source to your clipboard
- Close that tab and go back to the _posts folder, click the Plus (+) sign to create a new file
- Enter the same filename as before as the filename but append the language at the end before the .markdown ending (Year-Month-Day-name-language.markdown)
- Copy in all the content of the original file
Actual translation
- Change the lang: in the header (that between the ----------) to the language you are going to write (de)
- Translate the title

Save
- Write a Commit Message - this is what others will see (e.g. translating introducing to german would be appropriate) and click "save"

Put online
Nick Sellen, Matthias Larisch, Tilmann or other devs will merge the "work-in-progress" branch into "master", thereby publishing it on devblog.foodsharing.de
