[Translation] Finish the Korean translation (68 strings) | 한국어: 도움을 구합니다 #45

Closed

Description

@ColinGPT9

Korean is about half translated. The file has 57 strings; 68 more exist in
English and were never added, so parts of the app show English to Korean users.

This is a good first contribution: one file, no build tooling beyond npm, no
GPU, and nothing else in the repository needs touching.

What to do

  1. Open ui/src/renderer/src/locales/ko.json.
  2. Add the missing entries. The English string is the key, Korean is the value.
  3. Open a pull request mentioning this issue.

The English keys must be copied exactly, punctuation and … included, or the
app falls back to English for that string.

The 68 strings that are missing
  • Channel A–Z
  • Nothing yet — paste a link above to make your first clips.
  • Loading clips…
  • No clips generated.
  • Clips Studio is free & open source ❤️
  • It runs entirely on your PC with no fees. Please consider donating to help cover development costs and keep it free for everyone.
  • (TikTok monetization)
  • Camera
  • Top
  • Bottom
  • (branding)
  • Longform output
  • Process again
  • Make clips
  • Importing…
  • Video title
  • Creator / channel name
  • Platform
  • Where exported clips are saved. Defaults to your Downloads folder.
  • The app follows your Windows language unless you choose one here.
  • Transcription and burned-in captions use this language. Auto works for most streams; force it if a bilingual stream gets the wrong captions.
  • Something broke or looks wrong
  • Something new you wish the app did
  • Make an existing part better
  • Found a problem or have an idea? Tell us in plain words — technical details are collected automatically, and you don’t need an account for anything.
  • What were you trying to do?
  • What happened?
  • What did you expect to happen?
  • Can you make it happen again?
  • How serious is it?
  • Choose…
  • Always
  • Sometimes
  • Only once
  • Not sure
  • Low — cosmetic
  • Medium
  • High — blocks my work
  • Critical — app unusable
  • Anything else? (optional)
  • What feature would you like?
  • Why would it be useful?
  • How would it fit your workflow?
  • How important is this to you?
  • Nice to have
  • Would use it weekly
  • Would use it every video
  • Can’t use the app well without it
  • What would you like improved?
  • Why would it improve Clips Studio?
  • Which app inspired this? (optional)
  • Links / screenshots of that feature (optional)
  • Which part of the app is this about? (optional)
  • The app’s look & controls
  • The clip editor
  • AI results (clips picked, captions, titles)
  • Speed / freezes
  • YouTube videos
  • Twitch streams
  • Kick streams
  • Accessibility
  • Attach screenshot
  • Include technical details (PC specs, app version, AI model, recent log) — this is what lets someone actually fix it
  • See exactly what will be shared
  • Hide what will be shared
  • Sending…
  • Still needed:
  • Sent — thank you! Your report went straight to the developers.

Also worth saying

The 57 strings already there have never been read by anyone who speaks
Korean. If any of them are wrong or awkward, say so in a comment. That is
useful on its own, separately from adding the missing ones.

Full guide, including how to run the app in Korean: docs/TRANSLATING.md

Reporting is a complete contribution. You do not have to open a pull
request to be useful here.


한국어

이 앱의 개발자는 영어만 사용하기 때문에 한국어 번역이 자연스러운지, 영상 편집에서 쓰는 용어가 적절한지 판단할 수 없습니다.

뜻은 통하지만 어색한 표현이 있다면 알려 주세요. 현재 문구와 올바른 문구를 댓글로 남겨 주시는 것만으로 충분하며, 풀 리퀘스트는 필요하지 않습니다.

Korean: 57 / 125. https://github.com/ColinGPT9/clips-studio/blob/main/docs/TRANSLATING.md


Pull requests are welcome

Spotting the problem is the hard part, and if you can spot it you can almost
certainly fix it. Edit ui/src/renderer/src/locales/ko.json, change only
that file, and open a pull request that mentions this issue.

It is a good first pull request: one file, no build to set up, no code to
understand, and quick to review. If it is your first contribution to anything,
that is fine — say so and I will help.

Commenting is still a complete contribution if you would rather not. Both are
genuinely useful.

    Thank you @doeil1614-ops! Your Korean wording is now in Clips Kitty as 2ec059b, with you as the author.

    What landed:

    • 5 new strings: Channel A–Z, the empty and loading clip messages, No clips generated. and the free and open source notice.
    • Better wording for 100% local · no cloud AI and Export languages (내보낼 언어 reads much better than before).

    One small follow-up (8d0c87f): the list in this issue was written before the app was renamed, so the notice's English text is now Clips Kitty is free & open source ❤️. I moved your translation to that text and changed Clips Studio to Clips Kitty in it.

    63 strings are still missing, so this issue stays open for anyone who wants to continue. 감사합니다!
