No problem, my confusion was already resolved (see above) and the example json file now helps others off to an easier start I’m sure.

I also needed to install nodejs and tweak the file paths in translate.rb slightly, but now I have a new json file to work on and I think I’m all set. Thanks!

I have some experience translating software would like to contribute, but I’m unsure of how the coffee and JSON files in this source tree are related: public/translations/README.md refers to app/translations/en_us.coffee (like the blog post above), but the es_ex and pl_pl translations in public/translations are JSON files without corresponding coffee files in app/translations. Do I base my translation on a copy of en_us.coffee or on one of the JSON files?

The Galaxy Zoo guide refers to a template-creating script, but that gives an error: ”translate.rb:11: syntax error, unexpected ’:’, expecting $end”
