You can use AI ？

Thanks for opening this. Initial scaffolding landed in rc.16 — vue-i18n is wired up and 4 views (Auth, Login, Logs, ContainerLogs) are extracted into per-namespace JSON files under ui/src/locales/en/, with a glob-loader that auto-picks-up new files. The rest of the UI (~73 components) is still hardcoded English; that work is mechanical and queued for the next few RCs.

Once enough surface area is extracted (target ~50%+), I'll set up Crowdin for Open Source so anyone can contribute translations without touching the codebase. I'll comment back here with the Crowdin link when it's ready. If you (or anyone) wants to start now and is comfortable submitting PRs, the pattern is in ui/src/views/AuthView.vue (useI18n + t('namespace.key')) — happy to review.

This is really great, I am very happy to participate in Chinese translation work

[tianmiao8152]

PR in #331
I used AI (Deepseek V3.1) to perform the translation work and conducted manual proofreading.
Deepseek's understanding of Chinese is relatively good

Quick status update: this has moved well past the initial rc.16 scaffolding.

The UI is now extracted into namespace JSON catalogs and the language picker supports English, Chinese (Simplified), Italian, Spanish, German, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, and Turkish. Crowdin sync is also wired up so source strings can be uploaded and translation PRs can be generated from Crowdin.

I’m keeping this discussion open as the translation/community coordination thread. Thanks again to @tianmiao8152 for jumping in early with the Chinese translation work.

I saw in the README:

Crowdin integration is planned for v1.8.0.

But you said:

The UI is now extracted into namespace JSON catalogs

SO, I will now complete the translation work for Chinese (Simplified) and Chinese (Traditional)
This is really great. Chinese users will adapt to using drydock more quickly

Thanks for the nudge here. The README roadmap line was stale and is updated on main: the i18n framework and Crowdin sync are wired now, and zh-CN / zh-TW support landed with your authorship preserved. The broad generated Crowdin PR is being held until after rc18 so the prerelease only carries reviewed locale changes.

Good morning (it's 22:00 here, I’m getting ready to rest)
Thank you for recognizing me!
my coding skills aren’t very strong, but it’s my honor to help with some community work
Have a good day and stay in a good mood

[s-b-e-n-s-o-n]

This is now live in the current rc. The vue-i18n framework is fully wired, all UI surfaces are extracted into namespace JSON catalogs, and the language picker ships English, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Italian, Spanish, German, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, and Turkish. Crowdin sync is wired so translation contributions don't require code PRs.

The full i18n framework details will appear in the v1.5.0 release notes. Thank you to everyone who contributed early translations — particularly @tianmiao8152 for the Chinese work.

Release: https://github.com/CodesWhat/drydock/releases/tag/v1.5.0-rc.19

[tianmiao8152]

It is work well

[tianmiao8152]

The following 4 areas have not been translated:

[s-b-e-n-s-o-n]

Thanks @tianmiao8152 — and for catching this. Four hardcoded strings escaping the i18n catalogs is exactly the kind of long-tail polish that's hard to spot without a native speaker actively using the UI.

I'll extract those four areas in rc.21:

1. Tag/filter area at the top
2. The toolbar row above the table
3. The small dialog/popover
4. The settings panel on the right

Once they're moved into the namespace catalogs and synced to Crowdin, the zh-CN strings you've already contributed will pick up automatically on the next sync. I'll comment back here when rc.21 is cut so you can verify.

If you spot any others as you keep using it, please keep flagging them — your eyes on the Chinese UI are catching things our test pass can't.

@s-b-e-n-s-o-n I found the new regions:

[s-b-e-n-s-o-n]

🚀 v1.5.0-rc.21 is out — extracts the notification outbox, notification rule names, and registry/server status badges into the i18n catalogs. New keys will sync to other locales on the next Crowdin pass.

[tianmiao8152]

there are still partial region omissions in 1.5.0-rc.22

[tianmiao8152]

All translation work on Crowdin has been completed

谢谢 @tianmiao8152！🙏

WATCHING 徽章确实漏了——状态徽章显示的是原始状态值，而不是翻译后的文本。已在 rc.23 修复。

借这个机会我做了一次完整排查：扫描了全部 82 个 UI 组件，又提取了约 110 处硬编码英文到 i18n 词条里（弃用横幅、搜索范围、容器操作提示、日志与错误信息等）。rc.23 里这类遗漏应该基本清理干净了。

这些新词条需要再做一次 Crowdin 同步才能翻译——感谢你确认现有 Crowdin 工作已完成。rc.23 发布后我会触发同步，zh-CN / zh-TW 就能跟上。

发现新的遗漏欢迎继续反馈！🙌
