Translation - Arabic about iot-for-beginners HOT 12 OPEN

I would say carry on translating. The formatting we can tidy up later.

For the sketch notes - wait till they are all complete before translating.

Quizzes - the quiz file is in the https://github.com/Microsoft/IoT-For-Beginners/tree/main/quiz-app/src/assets/translations folder, named as .json. You should be able to add a new file in there with the right locale code as the name and it should just work. I think. @jlooper can confirm.

Hello! thank you for creating this.

I am trying to access the translations folder mentioned in TRANSLATIONS.md but I am getting a 404 error. Is it still the correct place we should add the translations to?

I am glad to collaborate with you as well @ahmedkhemiri95. Looking forward to doing some amazing work together!

The folder isn't there as git doesn't support empty folders. Whoever creates the first translation file will need to create that folder

Hello Ahmed, I have just finished translating the "getting started" lesson but here are few things I faced that can help you:
As Arabic is written from right to left (which is the opposite of English and many other languages), I had to experiment with alot of things until I was able to figure out how to make it appear from right to left in the Readme:
you need to use some HTML as follows:
<div dir="rtl">[whatever you want to write]</div>
This wil make it appear the right way. However, this doesn't work when you want to reference some links so you have to keep it from left to right for those

Hope this is clear and helpful!

@jlooper - have you discussed how to format RTL languages in the Web Dev curriculum? I can't see any Arabic translations there.

from iot-for-beginners.

Hello @jimbobbennett!
Do I continue translating the rest of the lessons or should I wait for few more days to see if a format has been followed in Web Dev for RTL languages? I had a look at the Web Dev curriculum before and I couldn't find Arabic translations too.

from iot-for-beginners.

Hello @jimbobbennett! so I have been experimenting with alot of things to format the Arabic text properly and I have found the correct ways to everything that I have encountered so far! I can now align links the correct way as well as the bullet points so I will be updating the previous README file and proceed with these ways for the rest.
I have a small question regarding the quizzes and sketches, I saw your notes on the group chat about the sketches so I wanted to ask if we send the translations now or wait till everything gets sketched. I also wanted to ask for the quizzes, do we create a new quiz that is translated?

from iot-for-beginners.

Just an FYI - I'm relying on you all to review the Arabic PRs. Once one of you raises a PR, can someone else check it over and make the PR as approved. I can then merge it.

Hey I really applaud the great work done to translate the courses to Arabic as it broadens their reach, but i can see that the translation stopped at the first lesson and I would like to join your translation team to help continue this work.
