Adding localization

[remil19]

It's now very simple to translate the web site:

• first create a new file languages/'your lang'.json based on en.json;
• add your language at the first lines of dev/generate-static.php;
• run php generate-static.php in dev/
  a new file for your language should be present at the root.

Any modification at the site should be done at dev/index.php

A small server-side program should determine which language choose for the visitor and redirect to the correct file.

I've just seen that you're using Github Pages and i think it's only static so maybe you should add flags in order to let the user choose his language or use javascript to redirect to the correct page (remember, any change must be done in dev/index.php, any change in index.html will be over will be overwrited).

+1 for support

[argen]

Will help translate to spanish and make some amends for the english version.

@abadfederico can we resolve conflicts and merge this so we can start translating?

[EvandroZanatta]

had cited an example( #17 ) with translated versions of the site, but I believe that using JSON files with the translations would be the best way. Just as it is translated the "App".

[remil19]

The Turkish a-has just been added. Is there any problem with the content of this pull request because it's been some time and translations could be a plus to the site.

[EvandroZanatta]

@remil19 I will create a "pt-br.json" and translate ok?

@remil19 faq page generate translate?

[remil19]

@cobaimelan there is just few lines to add in order to translate the faq, i will write them soon if i have time to.

@EvandroZanatta Thanks for that i just merged the changes .

[EvandroZanatta]

I found some errors still exist, I will review.

[c0b41]

@remil19 No wonder it possible to change the font Turkish characters

[remil19]

I've seen that too. I'm not sure that it's the translating engine that should take care of that. Should we change the font for all languages in order to keep a unity or just change the font for the Turkish even if it could be a bit more complicated to maintain?

Moreover when i first forked the project in order to add localization, there was no faq, i can easily add it now but maybe the changes already made should be merged before, that would simpler.

I've noticed that there is an Spanish translation in the main repo, is this pull request still usefull or should i delete it?

[remil19]

@heyimjuani is has been 11 days since this pull request has been opened. There is more differences between the two repositories with time passing. Is the merge between them consider or should we stop to work on the fork?

[EvandroZanatta]

@remil19 +1

would not be necessary to update the download links?
on the official website, the link to download the linux version is broken

[remil19]

There has been a lot of modifications in index.html the last twelve days but if we update the page on my repository it will still have to be updated every time a modification is made is the official repository so i think we should only update index.php when the merge will be done.

[remil19]

There is also some issues specific to the translations such as the one @cobaimelan raised (it happens also for Greek), another is some sentences are longer once translated so their end is hide by an image put next to it. I cannot make modifications impacting the design of the site, the official team have to make them (which font use, should we move the image or break the lines which are too long...)

It' s actually up to the official team now.

[EvandroZanatta]

it should have been fused to the main repository.
