What's cobalt?
cobalt is social media downloader with zero bullshit. It's friendly, efficient, works on anything with a browser, and doesn't bother you with porn ads or privacy invasion "consent" popups.
It preserves original media quality so you get best downloads possible (unless you change that in settings).

How to contribute translations
You can translate cobalt to any language you want on cobalt's crowdin. Feel free to ignore QA errors if you think you know better. If you don't see a language you want to translate cobalt to, open an issue, and I'll add it to crowdin.
Translation guidelines:
- Avoid formal language. Leave it for boring big tech companies. Use informal language on all occasions.
- Strings are ALWAYS stylized as lowercase unless it's STRESSED LIKE THIS or is an internal value like
{ContactLink}
. - Keep translations lively, friendly, and fun. Translate strings as if cobalt user was your buddy.
- Automatic translations from original language are not valid, and will be ignored.
- You can (and should) rephrase sentences as long as they keep the same point, if you think it'd be better that way.
- You can add wordplays or puns if it feels natural to do so.
- Even though I love cursing, keep that to minimum in translations, and do NOT use any offensive words.
- Check if there are issues in UI with your localization, and optimize it accordingly, or open an issue.
- Add "(in english)" translated to your language at the end of
ChangelogLastCommit
andChangelogLastMajor
. Those are always kept exclusively in English, due to how often changelog changes.- Example of translation to Russian:
"ChangelogLastCommit": "последний коммит (на английском)"
- Example of translation to Russian:
- Be nice.
