Translation to Spanish (We can volunteer!)

[tecnetico]

We'd love to run this but we need it to be in Spanish.

We know this could be difficult to do, so we volunteer to translate the text to Spanish. It's just to pique the interest of our visitors. Once they click through, they'll be OK with proceeding in English.

Hey @tecnetico,

We love this idea! All the text for the widget is in this file. If you can do the translation, we'll gladly publish a Spanish version.

[tecnetico]

Done!

@tecnetico Just deployed this. The config options are documented in the README, but the gist is:

<script>
var RED_ALERT_OPTIONS = { language: 'es' };
</script>
<script src="https://redalert.battleforthenet.com/widget.js"></script>

will always show the Spanish widget.

And if no value is set for RED_ALERT_OPTIONS.language and the viewer's browser is set to Spanish, the Spanish widget will show.

The code has been deployed at Tecnetico.com

Thank you for the opportunity to join the fight!

@tecnetico Awesome. Thanks for all your help translating this!

We tweeted out the setup instructions earlier: https://twitter.com/fightfortheftr/status/996042559091703808

Hi. We won in the Senate!

Do you need us to revise the copy in Spanish to reflect the new copy in English?

[kenmickles]

@tecnetico That would be fantastic! These two commits have the English changes:

I will proceed with the translation but I have a question.

On GitHub, the description of redalert-widget/src/strings/es.yml has "Add non-US CTA" as its description.

Why "non-US"?

@tecnetico The description is the last Git commit that touched that file. "Add non-US CTA" was this commit: 317673984d1e050936ef29da56d87bbddfafa910. It adds code to show the "Not in the US? Do this instead." line to users who appear (based on IP address) to be outside of the US:

That line links to this petition, which is a way for people who don't live in the United States to show their support.

Also, I translated that line into Spanish via Google Translate, so it might be wrong: https://github.com/fightforthefuture/redalert-widget/blob/master/src/strings/es.yml#L10
