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

1. 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.
2. Go to gitlab.com/foodsharing-dev/foodsharing-dev.gitlab.io/ and press "Request Access". Wait for someone to approve you.

Prepare translation

1. Go to gitlab.com/foodsharing-dev/foodsharing-dev.gitlab.io/issues
2. Pick the thing you want to translage (Target language is marked)click "assign yourself" under assignee at the right
3. Click Project, click Files, click _posts
4. Find & click the original filename (The issue is named like that, style is Year-Month-Day-name)
5. Click "Raw" and copy all the source to your clipboard
6. Close that tab and go back to the _posts folder, click the Plus (+) sign to create a new file
7. 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)
8. Copy in all the content of the original file

Actual translation

1. Change the lang: in the header (that between the ----------) to the language you are going to write (de)
2. Translate the title
3. Translate the text

Save

1. Write a Commit Message - this is what others will see (e.g. translating introducing to german would be appropriate) and click "save"
2. Wait 1-2 minutes and look at the preview on https://foodsharing-dev.gitlab.io/

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
