Any plan to support multi-language?
I can help translate to Chinese,But I only know a little programming knowledge.Hope I can do something for this plugin.
Hi, thank you for the offer! There's some development work that would need to be done up front to prepare Tab Stash for translations. Right now, all of the UI messages are hard-coded directly into the code, and a framework would need to be put in place to help Tab Stash choose the right language to show. Once that is done, however, translations should be pretty straightforward.
If this is something you'd like to try, I'd be happy to review any pull requests you send my way. :) Otherwise I'll keep this in mind for a future release!
There are a few other big items I need to get to first, and since Tab Stash is a spare-time project for me, I can't make any commitments as to when this would be done. But I haven't lost track of it! You'll see updates here as development is done.
Hello. Can we help you somehow? I am not the programmer, but I can make translation.
Just to give you all a sense of where things stand: I looked at some stats this morning, and over 25% of Tab Stash users use languages other than English as their default. I imagine that number would go even higher if users who do not speak English were able to use Tab Stash comfortably in their own language. So this is definitely something that is important to do.
To enable translations for Tab Stash, there is first a lot of programming work to be done to allow for switching languages based on the user's selection—a library or framework (such as vue-i18n) needs to be chosen and integrated into Tab Stash. Then, I (or someone) will need to go through every single piece of English text in the codebase and create a database for translation.
So right now the task is purely a programming task. But once the programming work is done, it will be possible to contribute to translations by creating new databases (based on the English one) for those same phrases but for different languages.
Hope this helps to explain what's needed. If there's a programmer out there who wants to help with the initial work of creating the first database (before I manage to get to it), I'll happily take pull requests. :)
