How do I retrieve the latest translations from Transifex without waiting for Misty?

DownPW

I may have missed something?
The Transifex client must be installed in a root folder of nodeBB?

Because here I installed the client under a standard Windows and I don't see how can I do this correctly.

No, the script to install the transifex client now just drops the executable in whatever directory you happen to be in, and adds it to your $PATH variable. Kind of weird but it works.

I am not actually sure how the windows script works though.

DownPW

I was just asking because my nodebb installation is on a Linux server, not Windows.
Windows is just installed on my everyday PC.
I'm just trying to understand how it works

I just downloaded the Windows executable for now.

DownPW

Well I don't really know at the moment.

If you have a tutorial that's a little clearer, I'd be happy to do it for you. Otherwise, it's not a big deal, we'll wait until the work is pushed in a future release.

@DownPW yeah for Windows, it's just the executable as downloaded from the GitHub releases page.

The script for Linux and Mac does the same thing, it just automatically updates the $PATH variable for you.

How can I contribute to german translations?

@dave1904 the translations are on trasifex, you can create an account and translate german strings https://explore.transifex.com/nodebb/nodebb/

Cool, very intuitive

I corrected an already translated string about a month ago. The change is not yet displayed on my installation. I'm not sure how nodebb works with transifex. Once the translations are pulled regularly by Misty, does it work live or does it come with the next core update? Can I retrieve the translations manually while running my instance?

Translations are pulled regularly into the develop branch so whenever the next minor version is release ie 3.6.0 they become available. See https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17189/how-do-i-retrieve-the-latest-translations-from-transifex-without-waiting-for-misty for manual commands
