Localization, multiple languages #9

Open zuphilip opened 8 years ago

zuphilip commented 8 years ago

Is the localization of the app(s) and the web viewer planned? We could contribute a German localization, if there is any mechanism for that planned. This would involve all labels in the graphical interfaces but also the data entered for the points of interest could need to support several languages. The name of a building or even a room may be different in other languages.

Localization is an interesting direction and we are sure that many other people will be interested in this.

There seem to be 2 directions:

a) Localizing the GUI language (e.g., through a settings option). This would relate to all different components: Viewer, Android, Windows, Architect, upcoming iOS. This will probably take more time, thus can remain here for the future releases.

b) Providing multi-lingual POI information: relates more to the Architect / API / backend. We should plan to offer this in the upcoming releases.

Dimitris (@dvaler01) can you please note (b) down to offer the localization mechanism in the next release of Viewer/Architect/API. It should then be easy to allow extending Windows, Android respectively.
