add Inlang to make the contribution of translations easier #116

Hi there,

I created an inlang.config.js file that enables contributors to contribute translations via a UI that opens pull requests. See https://inlang.com/editor/github.com/samuelstroschein/webapp.

The service worker translations are not included yet. I also did not update the readme on how to contribute translations yet. If desired, I can update the README too. Theoretically, the Android and iOS apps could also be used with inlang.

Let me know what you need to merge this PR.

PS yes, cloning takes ages. We are working on this as part of the next git.

Thank you for your submission but I think Inlang is a bit too early stage for us:

First, it offers every field from the json file for translation while we need to translate just one per object. Only the defaultMessage needs to be translated with result written into translation. It's going to confuse a lot of people.
We rely on automatic translation a lot. Bulk translation of text files is easy. Your tool seems to be all manual.

Sorry, I don't see a fit right now.

@or-else Thanks for the reply!

I overread that only translation should be translated, my bad! If you'd like, I can adapt the config file.
Inlang uses machine translations, hence the manual part is only related to reviewing.

Let me know if I should adapt the config. Otherwise, keep this PR closed
