Add Support for Multiple Languages

Open copi143 opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Hello, I am a big fan of using the msys2 website to obtain information about software packages and development tools. However, I noticed that the website currently only offers an English interface and does not provide options for other languages.

I suggest adding multi-language support, which would make it easier for more people to access and use the website. If possible, I propose adding Chinese as the first non-English language. (I can help translate the content of the website into Chinese.)

Thank you!

At this point with AI translation services etc and firefox including local live translations for websites I wonder if that is worth the trouble.

Firefox translations work really well. I have been using it to translate CJK languages to English. We could rephrase some line to make translations easier.

One thing I didn't consider is search. That not something those translation service can help with really unless they would be integrated into the search index building somehow.

I've added a button at the top using google.translate for Korean. I don't know how good it is or if it is helpful at all -> https://www.msys2.org/
