Implement Localisation #105

Open jbaron opened 10 years ago

jbaron commented 10 years ago

Make the labels etc using localised versions, so people with other locales can choose their own locale/language.

Languages right now on the radar (should cover the need of many users):

1) English 2) Spanish 3) German 4) French 5) Japanese

Of course if people are volunteering, we can easily add more languages.

It is very nice feature using IDE on your native language. Far from mandatory but nice.

I agree, and to be honest it is more about having the discipline to not hardcode language dependent strings than a technical challenge. Qooxdoo already has a nice support framework.

I do see a lot of Japanese websites with TypeScript topics, so I guess popular over there, And I can image that for a language so different, it would be a great benefit.

I myself am from The Netherlands, and don't mind much. And I guess that holds true for many "European-language" speaking people.
