Survol

This week I found a nice open-source project called Survol. It is a browser extension to preview links in an instant! It saves you tabs and time by previewing every link you hover.

I found an issue that requested help with translation of the extension to different languages. Since I know Hebrew, I thought that I can help and contribute. The issue has a clear description of what should be translated and where to place the translated file.

First I forked and clone the project on my local machine. I created a new branch called issue-116 and started to learn how the code is designed. I create a new folder called “he” inside the _locale folder. Then created a new messages.json file inside the newly created folder. Then translated the “message” part for each JSON object.

After translating the file, I committed the additional files and created a pull request. My pull request got accepted and the changes were merged.

Overall I had a great experience in contributing to this project.
