Language Translation Requests

[nthopinion]

What language should be added to the COVID19 Web App:

German Chinese Italian etc.

Additional context:

Recruiting all coders x translators to enable the COVID19 Web App for multi-language support (input and output)

eg. Simoultaneous English and German users

Translating hackathon & open source announcement

Translating social media posts asking for physicians to get on the app

Considerations:

Google translate API's, NLP, dictation, human translation? Ideas to keep a real-time translated database vs. daily updates via spreadsheets

@giant995 This! Our Social Message

If we can get our tweets, creative message, and medium post out there, then we can recruit more help from French speaking physicians and developers!

If I can be pointed out on how to contribute properly, I would be more than happy to help.

I can translate in Dutch and am happy to help.

Thanks all, we're looking at how to best structure translations. For the questions and answers we believe automatic (Google) translation will be best, so that you just have to take a look at the translation and if necessary make small changes. Does anybody have experience with that?

Just to get started, I created this shared sheet that we can use (until the coders jump on this). Either way, this will help the community get the ball rolling.
