Translations

[cor3ntin]

upstream uses transifex to translates scratch

I suggest we do the same

Rough idea:

• 1 In the code, use https://www.npmjs.com/package/format-message (as the rest of scratch) to format translatable text
• Modify package.json to extract thymio-specific in a separate files
• Create an account transifex or similar service
• Push the generated file on said service
• translate...
• sync trads

we use a service for mobsya website @Vincebecker is that compatible?

[cor3ntin]

So, unless we also fork scratch-l10n, there is apparently no extension point for translations yet ( despite what the example claim) - see https://github.com/LLK/scratch-gui/issues/3139

So we need to either

• fork https://github.com/LLK/scratch-l10n - I really want to avoid doing that
• find a way to plug into react-intl somewhow
• wait for upstream to provide the missing facility

@mbonani The service is called Weglot (https://weglot.com). There are different way to use it so I let @cor3ntin take a look (https://weglot.com/fr/documentation/getting-started)

Paolo once talked about https://www.deepl.com/api.html maybe it's worth to take a look at it too.

I received the Arabic translation from our reseller in Israel: SCRATCH3_AR.txt

If we can include that, that would be perfect.
