Translate docs to multiple languages

[alvarosabu]

Description

As a developer using TresJS I would like to have documentation available in my native language

This ticket is meant to keep track of the progress of multiple PRs to translate Tres docs:

• [x] Enable i18n and add Spanish docs done #123 #534
• [x] Chinese translations @enpitsuLin #550
• [x] German @DennisSmuda #548
• [ ] Polish @Dekier #546
• [x] French @AminGtt #555

Feel free to comment below if you would like to add your language and help us translate the docs.,

Suggested solution

Create a branch docs/translation-<language-unicode> and a PR similar to #534 with the following steps:

1. Add a <language-unicode>.ts inside docs/.vitepress/config ex: zh.ts (copy the en.ts which is the original and then translate only what's needed.
2. Remember to add the code prefix route to all the links on this file, ex link: /guide/ -> link: /zh/guide
3. Add to config to docs/.vitepress/config/index.ts like this:

export default defineConfig({
  ...sharedConfig,
  locales: {
    root: { label: 'English', lang: 'en-US', link: '/', ...enConfig },
    es: { label: 'Español', lang: 'es-ES', link: '/es/', ...esConfig },
    /* zh: { label: '简体中文', lang: 'zh-CN', link: '/zh/', ...zhConfig }, */
  },
})

4. Create a folder with the language code (ex: zh) inside docs/, this is where the translations will live, then start translating the files using the same structure as on the docs root, like this:

docs/advanced/extending.md --> docs/zh/advanced/extending.md

@alvarosabu I'll shoot a PR for german translations this weekend 👍

@alvarosabu @DennisSmuda I was a little bit too late with the German translations, but glad to see that it is being done 👍

[enpitsuLin]

@alvarosabu I've also started trying to translate it into Chinese. It's time to introduce more Chinese Vue developers to this awesome library! 🎉

@alvarosabu @DennisSmuda I was a little bit too late with the German translations but glad to see that it is being done 👍

You can still participate, let me know and I will add you to the doc team, the only thing I would ask if you could coordinate with @DennisSmuda inside the PR which pages to translate, one suggestion would be doing a todolist on the description and assign the pages between the contributors.

Thanks a lot for this

@alvarosabu Got it. Seems like a good approach to me.

@DennisSmuda Let me know if you need help with this.

[DennisSmuda]

@offskip-dave - I only have examples and directives left to do - if you wanna take on one of these from me, sure 👍

[DennisSmuda]

@offskip-dave I think I'm done - I'd appreciate someone to read over it though 🙏

Ok, I will do!

I'm glad to work together with @enpitsuLin on this translation.🤗

Hopefully, Tres can help more people get their work done.

@alvarosabu I know you would prefer a native speaker, but I have lived close to 10 years in Japan and I feel relatively confident in Japanese, so I think I could give a shot at Japanese translations and have a native speaker proofread it, what do you think?

[Laeti-dev]

@alvarosabu Hi there ! I see that @AminGtt has started working on french translation. Can I help somehow ?

[AminGtt]

Hey @Laeti-dev ✋ I already did some pages but didnt open a PR, I will do it tonight and then we can split what is still waiting to be done. I will also appreciate a review once everything will be done. I keep you posted a bit later in the day :)

[Laeti-dev]

Hello @AminGtt ! I'll have some free time this week, if you could just open a PR with your work, I could start with a proof reading and work on a page ;) Talk to you soon

[alvarosabu]

Absolutely! Feel free to create a PR for Japanese! I think I know who could help us. 😊

[alvarosabu]

Hi @Laeti-dev @AminGtt let me know if I can support you somehow, super happy to see everyone collaborating to get Tres translated to everyone. Thank you 🙏🏻

[AminGtt]

Hey @Laeti-dev! Sorry for not contacting you directly before but I am not able to mention you on the PR directly, I opened it the day we talked. You can found it here: https://github.com/Tresjs/tres/pull/555 Everything is detailed and should not be difficult. Ping me if you need anything, Cheers

Italian translations WIP 👷‍♂️ #654, setup ready 👍

[offskip-dave]

@alvarosabu Sorry for the delay with the Japanese translations, but I think I will have them ready within the next 2 or so weeks.

[alvarosabu]

Hi @offskip-dave no rush at all, I'm really happy you are working on them 💚

[hexianWeb]

4.0 is a beneficial update. I hope the corresponding Chinese documentation can keep up with this change soon. If you need any help, I'll be happy to help🚀

[alvarosabu]

Hi @hexianWeb yes we will need to update all the translations soon, I'm talking with the DX of Astro for a tool that checks which pages need updating on vitepress. We might be able to use it

[LucaArgentieri]

@alvarosabu I finished Italian translations, I would like someone to take a look at it to check that everything is ok 👀 https://github.com/Tresjs/tres/pull/654

[hexianWeb]

Hi @hexianWeb yes we will need to update all the translations soon, I'm talking with the DX of Astro for a tool that checks which pages need updating on vitepress. We might be able to use it

The tool sounds very useful, Please keep me updated on its progress. Also, if there's anything I can assist with, please don't hesitate to let me know.

@alvarosabu, as I said in the past, I will translate the content to Portuguese. I already forked the repository and I will start soon.
