Help Translating

If you would like to help translate this extension, you can do it by following steps.

We recommend you to use VSCode with i18n-ally. It supports i18n for VSCode extension development which can help you translate itself 😁.

  1. Fork and clone this repo.
  2. Create new file <locale-code>.json under ./locales directory.
  3. Translate messages in the new JSON file you created. (You may utilize the i18n Ally: Fulfill keys with empty strings command)
  4. You may also add your name to the translation contributors table.
  5. Commit changes and make a PR

Much appreciated! θ°’θ°’δ½ !
