Dual language Offers/Requests #99

Open joatu opened 9 years ago

joatu commented 9 years ago

Can we allow people to create their own translations for their offers/requests?

When you fill out an offer/request, you have two boxes for 'title' and two boxes for 'description' side-by-side. One English, one French. And when they select which language on top, they'll see it in the language of their choice...And if only one of the two is filled in, it shows it in that language. Thoughts?

The rails translation system is actually extendable to support user-defined translations, so yes, this is doable. Still a medium difficulty project.

Let's add a text on the create an offer/request pages that encourages people to write their offers/requests in as many languages as they like.

En:

Please write in multiple languages if possible.

Fr:

Si vous le pouvez (et le désirez), prenez le temps de formuler en plusieurs langues.
