Translate into other languages #30

I've setup crowdsourced translations here:

I'll leave this issue open for now as it's likely to be an ongoing concern.

@HendX I have just updated all German translations (there were many issues, I assume it was machine-translated until now?), but I'm not sure how to properly translate the apps name and that one is kind of important, so I would like to clarify:

  1. Is the notion of "Trace Privately" that everyone can choose themselves if they want to use this app before even there's an official app from their country? Or is it more about the fact that the Apple / Google APIs have good privacy?
  2. After Apple and Google renamed the "Contact Tracing" APIs to "Exposure Notification", did you considering making a similar renaming as well? I could imagine something along the lines of "ExposureNotify" or "COVID Exposure", but we could of course also keep the name.

Thanks @Jeehut - I'm not exactly sure who did the initial translation.

  1. The idea is that anybody using it would probably choose their own name, but my intention is to be consistent in this project so it's called somewhat the same thing across languages.
  2. No plans to change the name at this stage
