 @stefan would you be interested in using #transifex instead? We use it at @nodebb , and it works very well. It allows those without programming experience to contribute to the localization effort. Happy to help you get started. I have no affiliation with that company. They offer free plans for open source products. @devnull @nodebb Thank you, I really appreciate the offer! The current workflow could definitely stand to be improved. I did look into self-hosting Weblate, but it was a bit too much for my server. I'm a bit busy this weekend, but I'm definitely interested in looking Transifex later in the week. Thank you for the suggestion! @nodebb @devnull Thank you, I'll definitely reach out later in the week! But in short, currently we use one JSON file for each page + a few sections of the site, to make it easier to see what you're translating: https://github.com/jointhefediverse-net/jointhefediverse.net/tree/main/translations/data These get converted into locale files used by the i18n node package. https://github.com/jointhefediverse-net/jointhefediverse.net/tree/main/locales  @shoq Ha, thank you! I'm really just amazed by everyone who offered to help translate the site, I didn't even think of this myself. I think this really shows the true power of the fediverse. It's just us regular folks coming together and doing a bit of the hard work to make the world just a little bit better for everyone. If I were a theist, I'd say #blessed.   @stefan I'm talking to my local hacker group about setting up Japanese, if you are taking new languages  Great project! @Jarska96 That would be awesome, thank you! Here's a pretty good explainer on how to create a fork of a project and suggest changes: https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo I am also more than happy to have the files emailed to me as per the translation workflow instruction linked in the above post, whatever works best for you! @stefan Nice, gonna try the GitHub to get some experience :DD But it's 3am now, so maybe later today after some night sleep lol   @stefan I was just yesterday in a long thread about different approches to translating and traslitterating 'the fediverse' into Arabic with these fine folks: @ahmad, @sorrowbird, @ButterflyOfFire, and @dragnucs @stefan @ahmad @sorrowbird @ButterflyOfFire @dragnucs here are the merged translations into Arabic so far: https://github.com/jointhefediverse-net/jointhefediverse.net/pull/1 |
