Tips

 

  
GENERAL
  • Be sure to reference the CommCare Rosetta Stone for some common translations
  • Error: The translation should start with an empty line. Press the "Enter" or "Return" key before the translation text.
  • Do not change anything in curly brackets {xyz }
French
  • Capitalize all major words not small articles
  • If first letter in the string is capital make sure your French suggestion is also capital
    • If there is an article in between such as Remplacer l'icône, you can keep the first letter a lowercase
  • Do not use infinitive form for command verbs. E.g. Télécharger should be Téléchargez
  • Do not translate CommCare branded features into French, such as CommCare Exchange. Keep this as CommCare Exchange, pas CommCare Échange
