Weglot integration #1079

Closed j3ll3yfi5h closed 7 months ago

j3ll3yfi5h commented 7 months ago

A client recently requested a Weglot integration for their new website. Unfortunately there is no such integration for Statamic available at the moment: https://www.weglot.com/integrations

I have no idea, how much work this integration with Statamic would cost, as well as how many clients would use Weglot for their translations.

Please leave a "thumbs up" if you would also welcome such integration.

I am pretty confident to say that such a third party integration won't make it into Statamic core. You could create your own addon for it and offer it to others.

@AndreasSchantl is this Repo only for Core Features?

Maybe you're right, but how can we measure then, if features/addons are wished from other users too? Or give inspiration to someone? 🤷🏼‍♂️

andjsch commented 7 months ago

It's the correct repo for that, and the thumbs up is used for measuring. But if you look at Statamic, there are no third party integrations whatsoever. That's why I wouldn't bet on a core integration of Weglot.

I always thought about an addon and not about adding it to the core – makes totally sense.

While having a deeper look on how Weglot works, I found out, that there is no need to develop a separate integration. It does all the magic with the general js integration: https://www.weglot.com/integrations/translate-website

Compatible with any CMS and non-CMS technology
