Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As the current system of forking a repo and creating pull requests is fine for Resonite as-is, as it grows, the number of contributors will as well. GitHub being made for developers first might confuse and deter potential new contributors that are not familiar with GitHub and Git in general.

Describe the solution you'd like

Host a web-based localization tool such as Weblate to lower the barrier of entry for new contributors.

The tool could also be linked to Resonite accounts.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Keeping the current GitHub fork/PR combo.

Additional Context

This was raised on Telegram, and of course, would add additional work maintaining this solution. This issue is more for the long term.

This would also help, as issue #1899 would assist in this regard. An easier way for people to use GitHub in general (or another software) along with tutorials would help so much.

If I recall, @ProbablePrime has used Weblate before and might be able to provide some insight on this matter.

I've got an internal list of tools I was looking into. We may have to check compatibility though as we dont use a standard locale format. I think weblate can handle it though from memory.

Given their documentation on JSON files, I think it should work with the Resonite locale.
