German Localization

[adrian-vogler]

Are there already localizations planned? I really would like to do a German localization. I am a developer, too. Maybe You can tell me if that is possible and what steps would be involved.

The main steps are thus:

• Adding localized cards, this part is "easy". You'd create a de folder in frontend/public/img/arkham. In that folder you'd create a cards directory and put all the cards you have translations of. The script frontend/scripts/digest.cjs would need to be updated to either take the language as an argument or iterate over a list of languages (I think argument is probably best here).
• The next step is hard in that I don't have very good support for it yet, and requires me going back through pretty much everything to localize it, but there is a locales directory in frontend/src that will translate game test to the target language. Mainly you'd need to add entries into that for every piece of text in game (or in the app).

With those two things done we'd have support for any language.

I've updated the script already so that step is done.

Going to close this as an issue, if you want to provide German card images or update the localization files for German, I will happily accept the contributions.
