Language files not reflected.

[Itou-Kouki]

I started translating into Japanese, but the changed characters are not being reflected and do not appear in the language settings.
I was following the procedures in the README file in the 'lang' folder. For the JSON file, I used a copy of 'english.json' and renamed it to 'japanese.json'.
Could someone please give me some advice?

Hi @Itou-Kouki !

Awesome that you are working on a Japanse translation! I'm looking forward to your contribution :)

A couple of things to get you started:

PR branch

For your Pull Request, it's important that you make a new branch on your fork, without touching the main branch. You also need to clean the main branch before making the new branch.

Here's what I recommend:

1. Store a copy of your work (japanese.json) somewhere else on your computer
2. Run these commands:

git fetch upstream
git checkout main
git reset --hard upstream/main
git push origin main --force

3. Now make a new branch, and put the japanese.json file back.

Setting up the language support

Adding the japanese.json file is not enough to make it work in Pluto. Take a look in the Pluto source code at how another language (like "nederlands" (nl)) is set up, and copy the structure. You need to update frontend/common/lang_imports.js and frontend/common/lang.js.

I can also do this for you if you prefer. If you want this:

1. Make the new branch with japanese.json, and open a Draft Pull Request. This gives me access to the branch
2. Now I will edit the branch to set up the Pluto integration
3. Now you can Fetch & Pull to get my changes on your computer, and you can use it.

You might also need to select Japanese in the language selector: https://plutojl.org/en/docs/language/

That's it! Let me know how it goes :)
