Translation files downlad

Where do you get translation files from??
No option to download zip anymore: Translating SuiteCRM core to Slovenian language - Crowdin

A year old files:

Are you logged in to Crowdin?

Have you joined the “SuiteCRM Slovenian Language project” there?

Has you request to join been approved?

I think these are the necessary steps. I see a download button there for my language, not for other languages I haven’t joined.

I believe the maintainer of SuiteCRM Crowdin has left the project, I wonder who’s approving new users now…?

We shouldn’t really expect this from users in order to get the CRM working in their language. There should be a much easier download (like sourceforge).

That’s what I’ve read, yes.

Do you know, whether Crowdin changed something since 8.7 or was it a user changing access? @pgr
Wondering how users are supposed to contribute translations now?
Some parts of the new 8.9 campaigns are not yet German (and I assume not in other languages as well).

And for the one year old packs:

vs. the way from before:

I really haven’t heard anything regarding Crowdin or translations in the past year or so. Don’t take me as a knowleadgable source on this :slight_smile:

I agree that no login should be needed just to install; only to contribute translations, which is for a very small subset of all SuiteCRM users.

I’ve often heard mentions of making this installation process more user-friendly, but I don’t know if anything actually evolved from that. Ultimately the user should just pick a language and SuiteCRM would take care of downloading it from Crowdin (or wherever) and it would work seamlessly.

That seems to be the trend for other software as well - an integrated marketplace model to install stuff via one click in the admin like WordPress, Drupal 11, Mautic etc.
I assume, that might be a lot of effort for a small crowd in the SuiteCRM case.

For now, the most interesting question is probably: How to contribute translations?
That’s the last thing I’ve read from horus:

Current situation:

This is too old for SuiteCRM 8.9.0: SuiteCRM translations - Browse Files at SourceForge.net

Additionally, Crowdin no longer provides downloadable ZIP files, only .xliff files, which are not directly usable for SuiteCRM.

I need this translation files. Someone that can explain howto convert .xliff to use with 8.9.0?
