Hello @meaghanlewis
I joined in GitHubVS Spanish translation on Crowdin and I suggested 100+ new translations in the followings files:
Thats the correct way to do it? I hope so.
Any guide or susgestion to help me to translate it is welcome. Thanks

Hello again 😅 @meaghanlewis
Today I joined on this Crowdin project: GitHub Visual Studio that is integrated with the GitHub repository and made more than 200 suggestions in Spanish.
it's almost done.
meaghanlewis commentedon Sep 2, 2018
Thank you for your contributions @robertlluberes! We will start to review and approve your translations which will automatically create a Pull Request in this repository similar to this one: #1892.
Once all the translations are complete and approved we can merge them. Let us know if you have any other questions.

@meaghanlewis I have a question. In some languages (like spanish or german) when referring to a person (in this case the reader) we can use two forms, a formal and an informal one (both means "you" in english) When translating wich form should be used here?
meaghanlewis commentedon Oct 17, 2018
👋 @rgomez90 good question! We want our extension to be friendly and approachable to all, so I would suggest to use informal pronouns.
wenz commentedon Oct 17, 2018
IIRC Visual Studio itself is using the more formal pronouns, so I'd recommend sticking to that.
meaghanlewis commentedon Oct 17, 2018
👋 @wenz I was going off of what our localization team at GitHub recommended for the language of our extension itself. Let me check if Visual Studio has guidelines on this.
StanleyGoldman commentedon Oct 17, 2018
I also update4d the body of the issue, I looked at our statistics and the only languages in use are English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish German and Russian
rgomez90 commentedon Oct 20, 2018
@meaghanlewis any updates?
meaghanlewis commentedon Oct 23, 2018
Hi @rgomez90 we decided it's best to use with formal pronouns to follow the standard Visual Studio sets.
rgomez90 commentedon Oct 23, 2018
@meaghanlewis nice! 😄 I think you should put this info somewhere in Readme or sth.
meaghanlewis commentedon Feb 25, 2019
Closing out since this work was completed in #1968

@meaghanlewis
Could I add additional translation for Indonesian language (in Bahasa Indonesia)?
meaghanlewis commentedon Feb 27, 2019
👋@eriawan we localized to support the 13 languages that Visual Studio does. I don't think you'll be able to provide translations for the Indonesian language since they will not be supported by Visual Studio itself.
eriawan commentedon Feb 28, 2019
@meaghanlewis
ah, this is quite understandable. makes sense, but I hope VS team will provide Indonesian language support in VS.
Thanks!
