support pokemon names in different languages

Open ami opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

account level setting which changes pokemon names to a different language (this is blocked on adding an account page and update endpoints).

to collect the data, all we would have to do is parse the names from these pages:

This is great :) I can help with Spanish if possible. At least in Spanish they stay the same and they are just pronounced differently. I can help also translate the actual website too. Let me know how you guys want to do this.

I've put together the list if you want. Included everything up to USUM with the listed languages above and Chinese Simplified and traditional.

Hope this helps.

Why don't you use a more reliable resource like the CSV data from veekun/pokedex? They are all here already translated, including Italian: https://github.com/veekun/pokedex/blob/master/pokedex/data/csv/pokemon_species_names.csv

There is a free API available: pokeapi.co

It is probably easier to get and process data from this one. (and these data are updated from veekun/pokedex, I specify it as @itsjavi share this repository)

Apart from the Pokemon names, is there any plan to translate (i18n) the whole app to other languages?
