Requirement-1 User Story:

Tags: Language, Internationalization

As a cacao producer or someone visiting the website, I want to be able to view the website content in a language I best understand so that it is easy to engage with the website content and navigate the website.

Requirement-1 Acceptance criteria:

• Discussion threads #27 and #28 are relevant here. • As 28 suggests, the website could be presented to the user in their native location based on their "cookie" location, but could also then prompt the user to pick the language they want to view the website in (as 27 mentions). • It should be possible to change the website language from the initial selection on the website, perhaps by a button that is available on every page within the website. • Given that producers may access the site from all over the world, when they arrive at the site their location will be identified via their unique "cookie", then the website will appear in the language best associated with their location • When the user is choosing a language for the viewing the website and content, there is an option for the user to express that their preferred language

@UnitedByChocolate I will check the integration possibilities with Google translation tools, maybe supported directly by the selected hosting platform (Square Space), also as we discussed about detecting the language option so people can select the desired one.
