Localization #20

Hi! This seems like a much needed and wonderful piece of software.

I'm writing from a high altitude valley in the Himalayas (Zanskar). Is there any way we can incorporate localisation into this app. I'm limited with js skills but can rope people in depending on needs.

Clear skies to you!

Good question. I need to do several things:

  1. Prepare the code for localisation (i.e. translation strings)
  2. Create dictionaries and give users translation ability
  3. Create users ability to create translated manuals

things I can't easily translate - object names.

What languages do you know so you can create translations for?

Hi. Great. I could help out with adding Tibetan. The names of all the planets, a few constellations, prominent stars and a couple of DSOs are available. I could provide both Tibetan script and Transliteration.

Also, I could ask someone fluent in Tibetan to translate the manuals as well.

Following that, I could help out with Hindi, and help coordinate a few more Indian languages.
