Internationalization

[DanielHabenicht]

Hi, I can provide the crowdin.com platform for internationalization of the app.

I already created an approved OpenSource Organization for the #WeVsVirus Hackathon here: https://wevsvirushack.crowdin.com/

I created a project for translation for you:
https://wevsvirushack.crowdin.com/covapp

You can integrate it easily into your repo so updates are provided automatically, till then I can update it via a PR. Just contact me via email for integration:

Thank you for opening this issue. Please note that, as we are currently working on solutions to help face the current crisis, we do not have the capacity to responds any issues.

@DanielHabenicht I'd be willing on working to implement i18n as soon as there are translations available

[DanielHabenicht]

What do you mean by that?

There is already an internationalisation file here: https://github.com/d4l-data4life/covapp/tree/master/src/global/i18n

If thats the case and its setup my offer is obsolete, otherwise happy to contribute by setting up everything needed to have a language selection Am 3. April 2020 13:41:01 GMT+07:00 schrieb DanielHabenicht <notifications@github.com>:

I started a French translation. Anyone can complete, awaiting me to continue.

@DanielHabenicht Would you accept a French translation, once done? (And maybe a revamp of the language selector.)

[DanielHabenicht]

I am not with the maintainer of this repo.
But you can add your translations easily here: https://wevsvirushack.crowdin.com/covapp

L10n is good, Crowdin isn't.

Please don't use Crowdin, it is a lackluster tool in terms of ensuring quality, cumbersome to use, and is closed source software only-as-a-service that spies on users https://support.crowdin.com/cookies/.

I recommend using https://weblate.org/hosting/, which unlike Crowdin offers gratis hosting to all libre software projects, without requiring them to be non-commercial and contribute to their TM.

@DanielHabenicht

As part of the latest release 1.14.0, we've introduced a workflow that can be used by collaborators to include additional translations 🙂 Please be sure to check the updated CUSTOMIZATION.md document on how to add the translations you and the people that worked on them via the Crowdin service.

Feel free to close the current issue if they aren't any additional questions.

@radibit If you want, you can add the Crowdin GitHub Extension that can automatically create a PR if a new language gets translated. This would open the translation workflow to non-programmers ;)

Just mail me (daniel-habenicht@aquiver.de) so I can give you access to Crowdin project.
For an example look at this PR: CovOpen/CovQuestions#48

[comradekingu]

@DanielHabenicht Why would anyone want to use Crowdin, or subject users to that level of tracking and profiling?

[radibit]

I'm closing this issue since there isn't any interest of integrating a service like Crowding and because there is already an option for contributors to add various translations by opening a pull request to this repository directly following the customization documents.
