Source i18n with de, de-CH, fr, zh, zh-CN translations

New 1.3.2 release of Source theme with de, de-CH, fr, zh, zh-CN translations:

Unfortunately, contrary to core ghost, the default theme will not be translated and a fork needs to be maintained.

I also have a i18n theme GitHub - jochumdev/Massively-Source: Massively-Source, a text-heavy, article-oriented theme based on Source for Ghost.

@jochumdev thank you.

Just created a new release: Release v1.3.2-3i18n Ā· SourceTheme-i18n/Source Ā· GitHub

Thank you @NinoBagatello. Does this update mean that we have to go back to the theme and make the changes specific to our use, or can I update Ghost and continue to use version 1.3.2?

8

you can still use the previous version.

1.3.3 includes these upstream changes: Release 1.3.3 Ā· TryGhost/Source Ā· GitHub .

Awesome work, team! Big kudos to @NinoBagatello for making this available to the community.

Two things I wanted to share with everyone working on Source i18n:

1- The boilerplate text in newsletters (for feedback and ā€œread moreā€ links) is now translatable! If youā€™d like to have that text in your native language, If youā€™d like your newsletter to be free of English, Iā€™d love to have your contributions. (This is a Ghost core change, not in Source. Itā€™s available to everyone running Ghost, once you upgrade to 5.99.) Directions are here: Help translate Ghost (beta) (first post), and a few newsletter-specific hints are here: Help translate Ghost (beta) - #135 by Cathy_Sarisky

2- Thereā€™s some willingness from the core team to get translations on official themes, but thatā€™s currently being blocked by a need to update the code that does the translation on the server. Thatā€™s on my to-do list, but Iā€™ve got some (paid) projects queued up that Iā€™ve got to finish before I can get to it. When thatā€™s possible, I hope we can merge your translations back into the official theme, which will make it accessible to folks who canā€™t load a custom theme, and much easier to find for the people who can. :)

Hi @NinoBagatello have you tried the latest release with Ghost 6 ? I feel that it does now work but I am not sure

17

Hi @bastien , Iā€™m using Source-i18n on my Ghost(Pro) where currently Ghost 6.16 is deployed.

18

Indeed it works. I made a PR improving French translation @NinoBagatello could you review it please ?

comment on the Ghost Source Theme upstream on 2026-03-05:

Translation for source is coming! Stay tuned! :)

(source: How to use the theme in another language? Ā· Issue #100 Ā· TryGhost/Source Ā· GitHub)

Yes! Super exciting news (parts of which you can see if youā€™re watching Github very closely), but wait just a teeny bit longer before opening PRs, so that you donā€™t flood me with translations that arenā€™t going to be mergeable. But I promise, itā€™s coming very soon!

(One of the first things I hope someone will do is transfer over all the good work from this repo. And then weā€™ll still have a ton of work to do.)
