i18n: Replace png containing text by svg

Open tdelmas opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

To help with the internationalization of main pages, images such as https://github.com/letsencrypt/website/blob/master/static/images/howitworks_authorization.png should be svg, so they can easily be translated

(Additionally, to follow the open-source pledge, ideally all pictures should be accompanied by their sources - a problem partially solved by svg)

Images containing texts:

  • Explaining something:

    • https://github.com/letsencrypt/website/blob/master/static/images/howitworks_authorization.png
    • https://github.com/letsencrypt/website/blob/master/static/images/howitworks_certificate.png
    • https://github.com/letsencrypt/website/blob/master/static/images/howitworks_challenge.png
    • https://github.com/letsencrypt/website/blob/master/static/images/howitworks_revocation.png
  • Describing:

    • https://github.com/letsencrypt/website/blob/master/static/images/isrg-keys.png
    • https://github.com/letsencrypt/website/blob/master/static/images/le-firefox-chain-of-trust.png
  • Graphs:

    • https://github.com/letsencrypt/website/blob/master/static/images/2017.06.28-https-percentage.png
    • https://github.com/letsencrypt/website/blob/master/static/images/HTTPS-Growth-Rate-April-2016.png
    • https://github.com/letsencrypt/website/blob/master/static/images/HTTPS-Growth-Rate-March-2016.png
    • https://github.com/letsencrypt/website/blob/master/static/images/Issuance-April-10-2016.png
    • https://github.com/letsencrypt/website/blob/master/static/images/Jan-6-2017-Cert-Stats.png
    • https://github.com/letsencrypt/website/blob/master/static/images/le-certs-issued-june-22-2016.png
  • Paypal: https://github.com/letsencrypt/website/blob/master/static/images/paypal_donate.gif That one is should probably stays a gif, and PayPal probably have it in any languages possible. On https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_button-designer&factory_type=donate it's possible to see all versions with the "customize" link.

@bdaehlie Most of these images are here since the beginning (https://github.com/letsencrypt/website/commit/0575c36) Do you think there is a chance to find their original source to translate them, or is it better to create new ones?

I'm not sure where the originals are for a lot of the stuff on How It Works is. I don't think that page is great, maybe we should just rewrite it and replace the images.

Some of the images like the chain of trust image I created in Lucid Charts. I think the originals are still in my account there. I can see if they can export to SVG but I can't do it right now.

I think a bunch of the images in the last section here are used in blog posts, which we don't translate.
