Help make AliasVault accessible to users worldwide by contributing translations! AliasVault is currently available in English and Dutch, but we're looking for volunteers to help translate it into other languages such as German, French, Spanish, Ukrainian, Italian, and more.
|
||||
|
||||
AliasVault translations are managed through [Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/), an online translation platform. If you’d like to help translate AliasVault into your native language, please [request access to the Crowdin project](https://crowdin.com/project/aliasvault).

### UI Translations
|
||||
|

If you're willing to help, we also encourage you to get in contact via [Discord](https://discord.gg/DsaXMTEtpF) to chat (quickest), or contact us via email at [contact@support.aliasvault.net](mailto:contact@support.aliasvault.net) to discuss the language(s) you are willing to contribute to, and so we can answer any technical questions you might have.

### Identity Generator Translations
|
||||
|
||||
In AliasVault, when creating a new credential AliasVault automatically generates realistic alias identities including: first names, last names and birthdates. For this AliasVault uses dictionaries of possible names per language. You can help to enable AliasVault to generate proper identities in your language too.
|
||||
|
||||
**How to help:**
|
||||
- Create lists of common first names (male and female)
|
||||
- Create a list of common last names (surnames)
|
||||
- Optionally: Decade-specific names for more authentic generations

||||

||||

# Identity Generator Translations
|
||||
|
||||
In AliasVault, when creating a new credential, AliasVault automatically generates realistic alias identities including:
|
||||
- First names (male and female)
|
||||
- Last names (surnames)
|
||||
- Email addresses
|
||||
- Birthdate
|
||||
|
||||
The AliasVault identity generator uses lists (dictionaries) of possible names. Currently, AliasVault has name lists for the following languages:
|
||||
|
||||
- 🇬🇧 **English** (en)
|
||||
- 🇳🇱 **Dutch** (nl)
|
||||
- 🇩🇪 **German** (de)
|
||||
|
||||
**Your language not listed?** Help us add it!
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## How to Contribute
|
||||
|
||||
We need **lists of common first and last names** used in your language/region. Technical skills are not required. For each language that AliasVault supports, we need a text file with one name per line:
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic name lists
|
||||
1. **Male** first names (100+ names)
|
||||
2. **Female** first names (100+ names)
|
||||
2. Common last names/**surnames** (100+ names)
|
||||
|
||||
### History specific name lists
|
||||
AliasVault also supports history specific first names (per decade). In many countries and regions, name popularity has changed throughout the years. Names that used to be popular for people born in the 1950's are barely given to people born in the 1990's and vice versa.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to Submit Your Names
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Create simple text files** with one name per line:
|
||||
- `firstnames_male.txt`
|
||||
- optionally: `firstnames_male_1950_1960.txt`, `firstnames_male_1960_1970.txt` etc.
|
||||
- `firstnames_female.txt`
|
||||
- optionally: `firstnames_female_1950_1960.txt`, `firstnames_female_1960_1970.txt` etc.
|
||||
- `lastnames.txt`
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Send the files to us:**
|
||||
- **Discord**: Join our [community server](https://discord.gg/DsaXMTEtpF) and share in #translations or via private message
|
||||
- **Email**: [contact@support.aliasvault.net](mailto:contact@support.aliasvault.net)
|
||||
- **Crowdin**: If you're already a member of the AliasVault Crowdin project, send a PM with an attachment
|
||||
|
||||
After we have received the files, we'll take care of the technical formatting and making it available in the AliasVault apps.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips
|
||||
|
||||
### Name Selection
|
||||
- ✅ **Use common, popular names** - Names you'd actually encounter in daily life
|
||||
- ✅ **Modern and traditional** - Include a mix of classic and contemporary names
|
||||
- ✅ **Diverse styles** - Represent different regional variations within your language
|
||||
|
||||
The more names = the more variety and more realistic identities!
|
||||

||||

Webauthn allows to quick unlock the vault in the AliasVault web app. This can be either the built-in browser authenticator or an external authenticator like a Yubikey.
|
||||
|
||||
At the time of writing (2024-10-04), only some browsers support the required PRF extension. In order to make it work in Chrome, you need to enable the PRF extension in the browser settings.
|
||||
|
||||
## Chrome
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open the Chrome browser and navigate to `chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features`.
|
||||
2. Enable the `Experimental Web Platform features` flag.
|
||||
3. Restart the browser.
|
||||
4. Now it should be possible to use the built-in chrome password manager to unlock the vault.
|
||||
5. Go to Menu -> Security Settings -> Quick Vault Unlock and enable it.
