Desktop application #66

Open CrimsonFork opened 7 years ago

CrimsonFork commented 7 years ago

Some applications have a large amount of strings waiting to be translated. This is the reason why it's not a desktop application, so it could be done anywhere (no internet connection is required once the strings are saved).

I could understand if you said you just don't have the time but many people can write much faster on a physical keyboard and I think you know this.

In my opinion a desktop application would be very nice (even more nice with the ability to sync and even much more nice if via Nextcloud)

I'll close the issue because it's not a technical discussion.

Yes I know, but in my case, there are some moments in which I can't use my laptop but have nothing better to do, and so other people might be in the same situation. I decided to make this app even though I already did the translation of what I needed because it was a good idea.

Yes, it would be cool. But there are more collaborative projects online, aren't there? Like Transifex and such.

You can keep it open for discussion, and maybe someone else could see this and do it ;)

None of the other translators are avalible as a FOSS offline app (yet) so it would make your app much more popular if it was avalivle for desktop PCs either (at least that's what I think).

And the part that most annoys me is that they need you to log in. Sure, they're online platforms and they need some kind of authentification… But I find it a bit annoying that you need to make yet another account only to translate one application and maybe never use the platform again.

Didn't know that, I usually prefer to make an account per site so probably missed it…

I did know it but I prefer to make an extra account antway - big data.
