Instructions for translators

Habitica’s translations are done by our community of contributors from around the world!

Are you fluent in a language and want to contribute? Here are some instructions and common questions to introduce you to Habitica’s community translation process.

How is Habitica’s text translated?
As an open-source app, Habitica hosts our translations publicly here, at translate.habitica.com which is where contributors can submit, discuss, and review translations.

Translatable text is called a string. Source strings are provided in English, uploaded to translate.habitica.com, then translated into different languages for web, Android, and iOS by contributors. Approved translations will populate to the platforms they were submitted to after periodic updates by the Habitica team. This usually happens about once a month for the web version, or alongside mobile milestone releases for Android and iOS.

How do I contribute translations?

  1. Create an account on translate.habitica.com
  2. Choose a Project (web, Android, iOS), a language, and a Component (section of the app)
  3. To view strings that need translation, select one of the red string categories such as “Untranslated Strings”
  4. Navigate between strings with the arrow buttons to find a source string you want to translate
  5. Type your translation then save for someone to review. This may take some time as reviewers are contributors just like you

The translation platform we use, Weblate, also has more in depth guidance on how to use the platform in their documentation.

How do translations stay consistent?
We have a glossary of standard translations to reference. When you view a string, look to the right column to reference corresponding words from the language’s glossary.

How do I change a translation that’s already been reviewed?
When you have an idea for a better translation for a reviewed string, provide your translation then hit "Suggest".

What are the symbols I see in translatable text?
Words between <% %> symbols are variables used to insert information from the code. These variables shouldn’t be translated or edited in any way. You can translate everything around the variable and shift its position to fit your language’s grammar. When translating a string that has this, we recommend copy and pasting the code into your translation, as mistyping a letter or symbol can cause issues in the app.

How do I collaborate with other translators?
You can start discussions on the translation website from the “Comments” tab under each string. Alternatively, you can work with other translators through Habitica in Guilds, direct messages, and Party chat, or connect in unofficial spaces outside of Habitica.

Who do I contact if I’m having issues with the translation site?
Technical issues with translate.habitica.com can be reported to <admin@habitica.com>.

I don’t see my language listed for all platforms, or at all?
We do our best to support as many languages as we can, but since we are a very small team you may find a particular language isn’t offered. As of now, we aren’t planning to support additional languages. Languages that are partially translated now may become available within Habitica when it reaches a high percentage of strings translated.

What role does the Habitica team play in translation?
Our small team of seven aren’t experts on every language, but we do create the source English strings. We evaluate contributor tiers and appoint language reviewers based on past contributions. Source strings may change from time to time as we adjust the experience of an existing feature or add new features. While we don’t play an active role in each language’s translations, we can step in if necessary to help resolve disagreements.

How are contributor tiers awarded for translation?
After submitting translations for Habitica, you may get a contributor tier to acknowledge your help! Tiers change the color of your display name, add a badge after your name in messages, award you Gems, and display in the Hall of Heroes.

Tiers for help with translation are awarded:

  • After your first substantive contribution
  • After 1, 3, 6 months, and 1 year of contributions
  • Later tiers may be offered for 2+ years of contributions

If you meet these conditions, complete the Translation Badge Application form to let us know about your contribution. Tier requests are usually processed once every month and are awarded at the Habitica team’s discretion based on translation quality, complexity, and time spent.

How do I become a reviewer for my language?
In order to become a reviewer, you should:

  • Have 2+ translation tiers for the language you want to review
  • Know how to use our translation website’s functions efficiently
  • Work well with others and be open to discussion
  • Follow official guidance and respect language-specific best practices

If you meet these conditions, complete the Translation Reviewer Application form and reach out to us at <admin@habitica.com> to let us know you’d like to become a reviewer for a specific language. After reviewing, a member of our team will reach out to you with our decision.

Most important of all, have fun! These translations make Habitica accessible to a wider variety of people and we're extremely thankful for that. Habitica helps players improve their lives every day and we hope offering more languages will help even more people achieve their goals.

Habitica / Faq — Dutch

Habitica uses three different task types to accommodate your needs: Habits, Dailies, and To Do’s.

Habits can be positive or negative and represent something you may want to track multiple times per day, or on an unset schedule. Positive Habits will provide you with rewards, like Gold and Experience (Exp), while Negative Habits will cause you to lose health points (HP).

Dailies are repeated tasks you want to complete on a more structured schedule. For example, once per day, three times a week, or four times a month. Missing Dailies causes you to lose HP, but the more difficult they are, the better the rewards!

To Do’s are one-off tasks that provide rewards after you complete them. To Do’s can have a due date, but you won’t lose HP if you miss it.

Pick the task type that best fits what you want to achieve!
Er zijn drie verschillende soorten taken in Habitica: Gewoontes, Dagelijkse Taken en Teo Doen's.

Gewoontes zijn positieve of negatieve acties dat je bijvoorbeeld meerdere keren per dag kan bijhouden of met een onregelmatig schema . Positieve Gewoontes leveren beloningen op zoals goud en Experience (Exp), maar met Negatieve Gewoontes verlies je gezondheidspunten (HP).

Dagelijkse Taken zijn taken die je met regelmaat wil voltooien. Bijvoorbeeld elke dag, drie keer per week, of 4 keer per maand. Voor moeilijkere Dagelijkse Taken krijg je natuurlijk betere beloningen, maar als je een Dagelijkse Taak mist verlies je HP.

Teo Doen taken's zijn eenmalige taken met een beloning als je ze voltooit. Ze kunnen een deadline hebben, maar je verliest geen HP als je die mist.

Kies de soort taak die het best past bij je doel!

The color of a task is a visual representation of the task’s value. All tasks start as yellow for neutral, blue is better, and red is worse. Here’s how each task type determines the task’s value:

Habits become more blue or red based on whether you tap the plus or minus button. Positive and negative Habits degrade to yellow over time if you don’t complete them. Dual Habits only change color based on your inputs.

Dailies change color based on how often they are completed, becoming more blue as they’re completed or more red if they’re missed.

To Do’s gradually get more red the longer they stay incomplete.

The more red the task, the more Gold and Experience you’ll earn for completing it, so be sure to take on even your toughest tasks!
De kleur van een taak is een visuele weergave van de waarde van de taak. Alle taken beginnen als geel voor neutraal, blauw is beter en rood is slechter. Dit is hoe elk taak type de waarde bepaalt:

Gewoontes worden blauwer of roder afhankelijk van of je de plus- of min-knop aantikt. Positeve en negatieve gewoontes vervagen na verloop van tijd naar geel, als je ze niet voltooid. Duale gewoontes veranderen alleen van kleur op basis van jouw invoer.

Dagelijkse taken veranderen van kleur afhankelijk van hoe vaak ze worden voltooid. Ze worden blauwer als ze voltooid worden en roder als ze gemist worden.

Teo Doen's worden geleidelijk roder naarmate ze langer onvoltooid blijven.

Hoe roder de taak, hoe meer goud en ervaring je verdient voor het voltooien ervan, dus zorg dat je zelfs de zwaarste taken aanpakt!

After selecting "Look for a Party", you’ll be added to a list of players that want to join a Party. Party leaders can view this list and send invitations. Once you receive an invitation, you can accept it from your notifications to join the Party of your choosing!

You may get multiple invitations to different Parties. However, you can only be a member of one Party at a time.
Nadat je “Zoek naar een groep” hebt geselecteerd, word je toegevoegd aan een lijst met spelers die zich bij een groep willen aansluiten. Groepsleiders kunnen deze lijst bekijken en uitnodigingen versturen. Zodra je een uitnodiging ontvangt, kun je deze via je meldingen accepteren om lid te worden van de groep van jouw keuze!

Je kunt meerdere uitnodigingen voor verschillende groepen krijgen. Je kunt echter maar lid zijn van één groep tegelijk.
