Translation guidelines

All translations are stored im Yaml files. As it is a Yaml file, its format is very important. If you use windows, one of the choices for editing YAML files would be Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/). Do not edit it in default Windows Notepad as it does not highlight syntax.

Here are some guidelines how to edit translation file:

• As you can see it is kind of a structure and it is very important that number of spaces before "keys" won't change. Every nested line must have 2 more spaces than its parent.
• Keys that precede colons must not be translated, only the right part of each line, just after a colon - like "sleeps 1 adult" etc.

• In the right part of a line you can find some strings enclosed with curly brackets, like "Child %{number}". In this case, only “Child" word should be translated as %{number} is a variable. You can also find there parts of plain HTML like "<span>Show cities with at least </span><span class="min-val">0</span><span> hotels</span>" - in this case, only text inside tags (marked in red) should be translated.

• After editing, save a file in UTF8 encoding.
