Translating

Translations are very welcome! If you are willing to help, you will need some tools:

pip install Flask-Babel

Then you need to fork the project retrieve the sources:

git clone https://git.ziirish.me/<your_login>/burp-ui.git
cd burp-ui

You can have the list of available languages by running:

ls burpui/translations

New language

If your language is not listed, you can create a new translation running the following command:

./bui-manage init_translation <country_code> # where <country_code> can be "de", "ru", etc.

Update translation

If you want to update an existing (and/or un-complete) translation, you probably want to have a look at the templates files.

An un-translated file will contain things like:

<h1>Some title</h1>

The string Some title won’t be translated as is. You need to update the template like this:

<h1>{{ _('Some title') }}</h1>

Then you can update the translation files with the following command:

./bui-manage update_translation

Translation

Now you can proceed the translation in the file burpui/translations/<country_code>/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po.

It looks like:

#: burpui/forms.py:18 burpui/templates/login.html:8
msgid "Username"
msgstr ""

You just have to put the translations in the msgstr line like:

#: burpui/forms.py:18 burpui/templates/login.html:8
msgid "Username"
msgstr "Utilisateur"

Once it’s done, you can push the sources and create a Merge Request on GitLab:

git checkout -b translation-<country_code>
git add burpui/translations/<country_code>/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po
git commit -m "<country_code> translation"
git push -u origin translation-<country_code>
