OpenWork already ships with a growing set of languages, and we want to keep expanding that list.

​
Languages available today

Watch the video above for a quick overview, then use this list as the current source of truth for languages supported in the app:
  • English (en)
  • Japanese (ja)
  • Simplified Chinese (zh)
  • Vietnamese (vi)
  • Portuguese (Brazil) (pt-BR)
  • Thai (th)
  • French (fr)
  • Catalan (ca)
  • Spanish (es)

​
Improve current translations

If you want to improve an existing translation, start in apps/app/src/i18n/locales. Each language lives in its own file, so most fixes are simple copy updates inside one locale file such as apps/app/src/i18n/locales/fr.ts or apps/app/src/i18n/locales/es.ts.

​
Add a new language

If you want to add a new language to OpenWork, the basic file changes are:
  • Create a new locale file in apps/app/src/i18n/locales/<language-code>.ts.
  • Register that locale in apps/app/src/i18n/index.ts by adding the import, language code, language option, and translation map entry.
  • Re-export the locale from apps/app/src/i18n/locales/index.ts.
  • Add the new locale code to scripts/i18n-audit.mjs so the audit script checks it.
After that, run the audit script to spot missing keys: 
node scripts/i18n-audit.mjs --missing
