[FEATURE REQUEST] Translation/Internationalisation #125

Open darigovresearch opened 5 months ago

darigovresearch commented 5 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Would be helpful to have the app be in different languages or that the user can switch between different languages

Describe the solution you'd like Allow for public submission of core sentences to have the data to switch out the words depending on the user's preference

Describe alternatives you've considered Leave it in one language but would reduce accessibility to only English speaking users

Additional context Mozilla Pontoon may be a good platform to try but be weary of translations that come from auto-translate tools, better to have experts or native speakers giving/approving translations where possible

Thank you @darigovresearch . However, I'm skeptical of this. I worked at a firm that tried to do this to product and it was very expensive. I think a better strategy is just to decrease the dependence on words in English as much as possible. Of course, we should suppor UTF-8 for all entered text. My technical knowledge of this is out of date, however.
