# Welcome to the contributing guide for the plugin peertube-plugin-livechat
|

Interested in contributing? Awesome!

## Translate
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can help us to translate this PeerTube plugin by creating or modifying translation files in the `languages` folder.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please work on the `develop` branch, and do your commits and pull request on this branch.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the language you are interesting in does not exist yet, create a file `language_code.json` in the `languages` folder.
|
||
|
|
The language code must be the same as the Peertube's langage code (see [peertube documentation](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/support/doc/translation.md)).
|
||
|
|
Then add the language file in the [package.json](package.json) file, under the key `translations`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Translation strings are set in the language file as follow:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- files are in [json format](https://www.json.org)
|
||
|
|
- the key is the english string (see existing keys in the [french translation file](languages/fr.json)).
|
||
|
|
- the value is the translating string
|
||
|
|
- NB: there is no english translation file (this is how translation works for peertube's plugins)

## Develop
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Always talk about features you want to develop by creating/finding and commenting the issue tackling your problem
|
||
|
|
before you start working on it, and inform the community that you begin coding by claiming the issue.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please use the `develop` branch. The `main` branch is reserved to released versions of the plugin, so that the documentation is always synchronized with the released version of the plugin.
|
||
|
|
Once you are ready to show your code to ask for feedback, submit a *draft* Pull Request.
|
||
|
|
Once you are ready for a code review before merge, submit a Pull Request. In any case, please
|
||
|
|
link your PR to the issues it solves by using the GitHub syntax: "fixes #issue_number".
|
||
|
|
|
