Localization support #29

Closed yarons closed 2 years ago

yarons commented 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I want to translate this app to Hebrew

Describe the solution you'd like I want to use a localization platform such as Weblate to contribute translation to this app.

Describe alternatives you've considered I can download the strings.xml file and translate it manually.

Additional context Using localization platform will expose the app to many translators that share the same values was the developer, it will surely help senior citizens without English knowledge to keep remembering their meds.

I personally contributed to similar projects in the past, none of them is maintained today.

This is a good idea, and I have already thought about it. The main challenge with using Weblate is finding a web host I can afford that can handle running the service. I am looking at some potential free options, but I am not making enough money at this point to pay for a web server.

@CorruptedArk This is an open source project, you can apply for the open source plan on Weblate.

CorruptedArk commented 3 years ago

I see, you're right. I missed that when I was looking through their pricing options previously.

yarons commented 3 years ago

LOL it was pretty vague not so long ago but now they're offering trial period and meanwhile they'll scan your project to see if it's in fact open source and act accordingly.

I've been working on the Weblate integration since you submitted this issue, and I wanted you to know that the Weblate project is open. I'm still waiting on the approval for the libre plan, but since this project is GPLv3+, and I have no intent to change it, it's only a matter of time. Given that, I'm going to close this issue

Oh no! Don't close it without adding the link to it :)

Thank you!

Oh yeah, my bad, I forgot to mention that there's a link in README and I'm pretty sure I added one to CONTRIBUTING. But based on recent commits, it looks like you found it
