[feature request] A better way to translate

[jont4]

It's a good idea to set up a translation cloud-based service such as Crowdin or Webslate. Translating using a spreadsheet is not an easy way to do this. What do you think?

Thanks for the suggestion. I really want Seeker in other languages, and its one of the most requested features. I contacted Crowdin since they have a form you can fill out for open source projects to use the service for free, but otherwise I will go with Weblate.

The spreadsheet did not get too much engagement, one user did do some translations. Though I am not sure what is to be expected. Whatever makes it easiest for volunteers to translate, I am all for.

I will update you when the status changes.

Okay it seems like the Crowdin request got approved immediately.. so I will work on setting it up.

Here is the link. Please help out if you can. And if you note any issues let me know or reopen this issue. The platform seems promising.

Also, feel free to give any suggestions. There are options for pre-translation using Machine Translation. And the option for additional machine translation engines in the suggestions. Right now, nothing is pre-translated, and when translating a string suggestions from machine translation and existing translations appear below it.

Please add Brazilian Portuguese. I can't add a new locale in crowdin
