Allow internationalization

[Riduidel]

This project is incredibly cool for english-speaking people. But it would be even better if it could support more languages (in my case, french)

[Riduidel]

I see this effort in distinct steps.

• [ ] Move current times folder in an en folder
• [ ] Create a fr folder (or any other language folder)
• [ ] Find quotes for fr
• [ ] Change UI to add a locale selector (listing the various locales), and default that selector to detected browser language

This would be great! But I think it should be a seperate fork.

Hey, I´ve been using Literature Clock for a while and it´s become a staple of my Windows machines, but I can´t share it since I´m Brazilian and everyone I know only speaks Brazilian Portuguese. Can I attempt to do the process outlined above for pt-BR and, if so, how would I go about it? I´m new to GitHub.

Hey there! I've been working on a literature clock but with Spanish quotes (of course, it is based on this project). You can see it here https://reloj-literario.netlify.app and the project is https://github.com/cdmoro/reloj-literario

I've added some additional features:

• Zen mode to avoid any distraction (link)
• Developer tools: test quotes (?quote=My+quote) before adding them (link)
• Check only one time to see its quotes in detail, just for fun (?time=23:06) (link)
• Fallback "funny" quotes when a time doesn't have any book quotes, as there are 5 fallback quotes every time you refresh the page the quote is different :-)
• A bottom progress bar for the seconds
• The project uses GitHub forms to submit quotes (link)
• The page title is updated with the time
• The HTML has some aria labels to improve Accessibility
• Uses Python to parse the csv file

I think if we work together we can easily add

• Internationalisation for quotes: we can find the translated quotes from English for a specific language or use only local native authors for each locale, or both
• Internationalisation of labels and links within the page
• Themes to choose different colours and styles (this could be easily done with CSS variables, each theme would have light and dark variants or even different fonts).
• A statistics section with, for example:
• • Authors with most quotes (top five)
• • Times with most quotes (top five)
• • Times with fewer quotes (so we would know where to put more effort in finding quotes) (top ten)

Hey folks, I continued working to improve the literature clock and I've got this new project https://github.com/cdmoro/literature-clock

This version of the literature clock has a bunch of features, and supports quotes in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian :D

@Speedster04BRA you can try the Portuguese version here https://literatureclock.netlify.app/?locale=pt-BR @Riduidel the French version https://literatureclock.netlify.app/?locale=fr-FR

The quotes were translated from the English CSV so there might be a few quotes with errors. Let me know what you think! Hope you like it!

[JohannesNE]

Nice! Those are some really cool features. I really like the direct link to a github form for suggesting quotes.

Thanks for the inspiration, mate! Just released a new feature, the Screensaver mode :D https://literatureclock.netlify.app/?screensaver=true

Cheers!
