### Viewing the website offline

You can view the website (this repo) offline on your own machine using [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/). Please see the [instructions for doing this here](https://docs.github.com/en/pages/setting-up-a-github-pages-site-with-jekyll/testing-your-github-pages-site-locally-with-jekyll). Note that Windows and macOS users will need to make their changes to the website files first, then make a pull request. Click on the "Checks" tab of the pull request, on the right click on "Artifacts" and download the zipped website file. Unzip it (twice), cd into the extracted folder and run `jekyll serve`. If you are on Linux, you can make and view your changes offline before making a PR, but you must install po4a (clone our [assets repo](https://github.com/jamulussoftware/assets) and install the latest .deb from there) along with Jekyll. Then clone the website repo, create your branch and run `_po4a_tools/po4a-create-all-targets.sh` before running `bundle exec jekyll serve` and viewing the site on `http://127.0.0.1:4000/`. Please ask in [Discussions](https://github.com/jamulussoftware/jamulus/discussions) for help with this if necessary.

- Translations should stay as close as possible to the original English text. If you see content in English that is incorrect or unclear, please do not attempt to correct or modify it in your translation, but rather make it known by [discussing it here](https://github.com/jamulussoftware/jamulus/discussions) so it can be corrected in the English files **first** and thus be applied to all other translations.

“Person” A human connected to a server (may be on multiple channels). We might say "People on the server", or "People who have muted themselves", rather than _Musicians_ or _Channels_.

“Person” When "channel" or "fader" isn't a good term (according to the above definitions), we refer to "people" connected to a server rather than "musicians" since (in English) the latter term does not imply singers.

“Directory” The term for a type of Server that a Client uses to get a list of Servers from. Avoid the use of the term _Directory Server_ because it may be confusing in the presence of _Server_ on its own.
