I can do this one guys
What does the implementation look like? As far as I know, we don't have any translation infrastructure in place for the Django website (besides docs which is independent). Do we have to setup a Transifex project and start pulling and pushing translations? \cc @claudep
Might be nice to dogfood Django's i18n :-)
~It looks like Transifex has free open source accounts. I'll see about getting one set up.~
~If you would like to be added as a translator please let me know here or on IRC.~ (UPDATE: We already have an account. See below.)
See also: #862, #864, #865
I noted this on IRC as well, but I don't think everyone is logged in there: Do we already have a Transifex account? Or is someone else squatting on the 'django' org slug? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/fyiGYl4F/Screenshot%202019-02-17%2019.31.32.png
(I did create one already that we can use, but obviously it may make sense to all use the same one, if we have one already.)
@tobiasmcnulty I'm pretty sure this is where all django/django
translations are handled

@tobiasmcnulty Please tell me your Transifex nick and I'll add you to the Django maintainer team there.
The Transifex PR (#866) has been merged, so this should be a bit more straightforward now.
I think the steps are:
1) Mark up the strings for translation in this app. In particular the snippets included elsewhere on the site and the form itself would be great to have translated (but it is all important).
2) Once that's merged, push up the new source strings to Transifex, translate them, and then pull down/commit the translations (this could be done as a separate PR or set of PRs).
The translation docs are in the README: https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com#translation

@pauloxnet Do you think this is something you might be able to drum up some volunteers to lead? (It seems like a nice idea right?)

It looks like a good idea to me too. Unfortunately, until the DjangoCon US I don't think I have free time to devote to it.
I hope there are others already involved with the translation of Django who can help us in this.
… until the DjangoCon US …
😄 I don't think we need a one-week turn-around. I meant more medium term.

I guess, how do we reach out to such to see if we can drum up some input? 🤔
(Really, no rush! ❤️)
Some people who contributed here to the discussion I believe are involved with the internationalization of Django.
In the meantime I added some labels.
To stimulate other people who want to help I have some ideas:
Do you have other ideas ?
Not really, those all sound good. "A bit of advertising" 😄 — We can chat at DjangoCon to come up more of a plan. Thanks @pauloxnet!
Yes, a bit of "ethical advertising" to boost internal projects. Maybe we can make a list of interesting internal projects we think it worth to promote. We can promote this projects also in other "channels" (es: Django News, Django Chat, ...) ?
@carltongibson @pauloxnet I'll pick this up. 👍
It would be a nice touch to have the donation form, thank you page, ... localized.
