Prepare for localization #43

Open jkotlinski opened 4 years ago

It would be great if this program could be translated to e.g. Japanese and Spanish.

So, I see two things falling under the same scope : making the UI fully flexible to fit any size of text in any actionable, and making/using a localization data structure or library.

Sounds big enough to become a milestone, yes.

Java provides ResourceBundle for localization, I think it makes sense to use it. We could make a few ones with Google Translate and see how it looks.

I'd rather request specific people for translation help than leaving it to GTranslate. I fear it'd fail hard on GUI. From experience, it doesn't catch the proper term based on context.

I'd give a try for a french translation, but I think we would require the help of some people for the other languages.

Yes, the Google Translate would be more to verify that the GUI accommodates different string lengths :-)
