How to test translation in desktop application?

[MaksaUniver]

I would like to contribute by translating the app, but I would also like to check if translation is looking good in application. Is there any possibility to do that?

You can test translations in the Super Productivity desktop application by using the built-in feature to switch languages. The application allows you to select a language from a list of options, which includes various languages like Arabic, Czech, German, Spanish, English, and more. This feature is implemented as a form section with a select input type, enabling you to change the language for testing purposes ^[1].

@dosu Language that I'm translating is not showing in the list of available languages.

@dosu Than how to test new translation if it's not in the list?

@MaksaUniver sorry for the bot! That was a lot of nonsense :/ I deactivated the fella.

Best way to achieve this, is to start the local dev server as described in the readme:
https://github.com/johannesjo/super-productivity?tab=readme-ov-file#running-the-development-server

Then you can edit the translation files (e.g. en.json) directly.
