The Mapbox Navigation SDK for Android features several translations contributed through Transifex. If your language already has a translation, feel free to complete or proofread it. Otherwise, please request your language so you can start translating. Note that we’re primarily interested in languages that Android supports as system languages.
While you’re there, please consider also translating the following related projects:
- OSRM Text Instructions, which the Mapbox Directions API uses to generate textual and verbal turn instructions (instructions)
- Mapbox Navigation SDK for iOS, the analogous library for iOS applications (instructions)
- Mapbox Maps SDK for Android, which is responsible for the map view and minor UI elements such as the Mapbox Telemetry permissions dialog
Once you’ve finished translating the Android navigation SDK into a new language in Transifex, open an issue in this repository asking to pull in your localization. Or do it yourself:
- (First time only.) Download the
txcommand line tool and configure your .transifexrc. - Run
tx pull -ato fetch translations from Transifex. You can restrict the operation to just the new language usingtx pull -l xyz, where xyz is the language code. - Commit any new files that were added and open a pull request with your changes.
