Translation platform

[aha999]

It would be great if there was a way for general public to contribute translations.

I can recommend Weblate, as the platform itself is open source (compared to others), can be self hostable, and for open source projects like yours, they host translations for free.

Weblate can automatically make pull requests when new content is translated and if you want you can have various widgets shown on github, that display how much percentage each applied language is translated to. It's much more simple for people to translate this way.

What about crowdin? I only used it twice so no real experience or knowledge about it.

Yes, there are many platforms... Crowdin, Transifex, Weblate, Pontoon, etc. and i translated on most of the popular platforms, but Only Weblate is open source, other are proprietary, and it can translate as well as other platforms, can be self hosted and UI looks better if you ask me. What i like with crowdin tho, is the cross-helping autofill for translations, so that is helpful. Weblate also has github integration for automatic pull requests when new translations are made, Widgets with translation progress can be put on Github readme, so it's very nice and imo more than most people could need :)
