Description

This issue is to do a test of the Weblate localization platform to see if it's fitting for our needs. Steps included in this issue are:

  • [x] Settings a baseline localization quota for a language on Weblate
    • 100% reviewed has been selected
  • [x] ~Add a machine translation process to Weblate~
    • I signed up to DeepL and we have a free plan going (500,000 characters per month)
  • [x] Localizing a few strings in the UI to check the user flow
  • [x] Checking the PR flow to see if it's agreeable to maintainers
  • [x] Checking the UI with localization partners to see if it can work for them
  • [x] Creating some documentation for localization (LOCALIZATION.md)
    • Add this in the Translator Instructions URL in Transifex's settings
    • Add references to this in the readme and contributing guide
  • [x] Updating the localization issue template with the needed information
  • [x] Apply for the Libre license for Weblate
  • [x] Updating the Localization room on Matrix with information on the new process
    • Changing the header and sending info to the channel
  • [x] Inviting people to the new localization process

Note that we need to remake the localization project so that we have en-us as the source language such that it's more clear when we have en-gb or another version as an option :)

  • [x] Remake Transifex project is thus an added task
  • [x] Check to see if we can have localizations backup others
    • Ex: can Brazilian Portuguese backup Portugal Portuguese (and in reverse) with English as a common backup

Note that we can have a per-language fallback locale: https://i18n.nuxtjs.org/locale-fallback/
