Suggested Avenue for Linking Translated Versions

Open bnb opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

In a meeting today, someone brought up that the benefit of linking directly to the latest version rather than having the full text committed to the CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md file is that we get easier access to the translations.

I'm curious if this is a recommended approach, or if there's an alternative approach that's recommended like augmenting the contents and adding an appendix that includes links to translations.

If there's work that the project thinks could be done here, I'd be happy to spend some time on it :)

It's a good idea, but because the code of conduct needs to be customized with at the very least contact information (and ideally enforcement information), the file really needs to live in the repo or at the org level. Maybe another approach would be to add a link to the translations page from the bottom of the document?

I think that's a totally reasonable approach! Would this be something you'd want to see end-users do themselves or would it be something that's included in the source files?

I’ll add it to the footer. Thanks for the great suggestion!
