Suggesting community-backed translations using Crowdin
Back to General discussions forum
Hello, Rodion and community, I hope you are doing well :)
I want to propose the implementation of Crowdin (or any equivalent software) for the translation of problems in the page.
I know there's already the Github page, but I think the Crowdin interface is way nicer, easier and attractive, plus it has integration with Github (see https://support.crowdin.com/github-integration/). Plus, I think CodeAbbey can do fine with the free tier, as to not incurr in extra costs.
As an example of why I think Crowdin has a better interface, see Lichess's Crowdin page https://crowdin.com/project/lichess.
Note: I don't have any affiliation with Crowdin nor Lichess. I also don't have experience with other community-backed translations waypoints to compare to.
Hi Friend!
Thanks for suggestion, though honestly I don't at once grasp what exactly Crowdin does or how it works (there is something about community and then something about AI), after spending five minutes at their web-site :) I tried to visit Lichess Crowdin page, but it requires login to Crowdin to continue...
As a matter of fact, some time after we implemented existing way ot making translations (which is pretty clumsy, yep) I started suspecting that our target audicence is mainly of people who anyway know enough English. That partially explains I think why problems beyond basic are rarely translated: to solve them one needs to be somewhat advanced in programming - and generally programmers and students of that level are less or more capable in English too :)
The argument that advanced problems are mainly solved by people that know enough English is true to me as well. I hope be able to help with some translation in Github in a future then.
Thank for the site, the photo-prizes and the community you've built around here :).
