Contributing to Cast

Translations

Cast ships with 8 languages: English (source), French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazilian), and Chinese (Simplified). Native-speaker refinements via PR are welcome.

How to contribute translations

  1. Fork this repository
  2. Edit an existing file in the languages/ folder, or create a new one by copying English.xml
  3. Translate the string values (the text between <string> tags) -- do not change the key attributes
  4. Keep any %1, %2, %@, %d placeholders in place -- the app needs them
  5. Submit a pull request with a brief description of changes

Adding a new language

  1. Copy languages/English.xml to languages/YourLanguage.xml
  2. Translate all string values
  3. Open a PR with your additions

Translation guidelines

  • Technical terms stay in English in all locales (e.g., CPU, GPU, RPM, app-specific identifiers)
  • App name "Cast" is never translated
  • French: follow Apple French Glossary (e.g., "Reglages" for Settings, "Quitter" for Quit)
  • German: use formal Sie register, follow Apple macOS system terminology
  • Spanish: use formal usted register, follow Apple Spanish Glossary
  • Japanese: follow Apple Japanese Glossary conventions
  • Korean: follow Apple Korean Glossary conventions
  • Portuguese (BR): use Brazilian Portuguese conventions
  • Chinese (Simplified): follow Apple Simplified Chinese Glossary
