Individual translations for Chatwoot

[jan.reinhardt]

Hi everybody. I'd like to change some of the standard texts defined in /app/code/app/javascript/widget/i18n/de.json but this file is write protected. Is there any option to move the language file(s) to a different location where it a) can be changed as desired and b) are not overwritten in case of package updates?

@jan-reinhardt I think it's best if the upstream project is updated with the translations first. The upstream project uses crowdin. See https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot#translation-process

@girish Yes I know and I read that, but in this case its not about creating new translations. The existing translations are correct and I'd just like to change the wording in some cases because they don't fit my use case.

@jan-reinhardt that would be difficult for us to maintain. I think best approach is to fork the existing package and create a custom build. Code is at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/chatwoot-app
