[FEATURE] Use Weblate (translation platform)

Open comradekingu opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Just got the Crowdin e-mail about translating the new AFWall+ version. Can't reply or log in without accepting the terms Crowdin had to present following GPDR for what they do, nor will I. The nb_NO translation has subsequently fallen behind.

Crowdin as a whole is a lackluster and closed platform, only offered as a service, with egregious terms and a lots of tracking.

Weblate produces better quality since it is quicker, more complete, and offers greater overview. As opposed to Crowdin it has a gratis offering for libre software (as opposed to non-commercial software), and it can also be self-hosted. The terms for hosting aren't perfect, but close. GPLv3+ licensed.

Happy to help get AFWall+ onto Weblate in some capacity. :)

Thanks for your offering and support. I will keep this open. If more and more contributors feels that they don't want to use crowdin, then I will consider switching.

@ukanth There are almost 40k accounts on Hosted Weblate now, and plenty self-hosted instances for various projects, with very few libre software projects left on Crowdin.

The source strings could do with some help too :)
