If you go to your user management page when logged in: https://www.zapread.com/Manage
You can select which languages you would like to natively read.
The next steps are:
- Set default language for each group (admin and new group function)
- Allow posters to set the language of the post - default to group language, or use google translate language detection
- Add user setting to view translated posts (or do it manually)
- Use user browser language settings to configure default language when creating new accounts
- Implement full i18n over ZapRead and internationalize the entire user interface (translators will be needed)
When I started the idea of ZapRead, I did not expect such an uptake in the international community. I am immensely pleased and humbled to see such a wonderful response from users all over the world! I want to do the best to make ZapRead.com a website which is globally usable and accessible!
Great, thanks for the work on implementing the language settings. Polish is not on my list :)
As there is no Save button on the manage page i was not sure the language setting was saved, but it works great.
I had to look up what i18n sands for, and i learned something new today, thanks.
I would like to contribute to the translation of the interface to Swedish, when possible.
I put all languages in their native names. So Polish is actually "polski" Maybe I should include their English names as well.
Good point about the user experience and not knowing if it was saved - I'll have to add some kind of visual cue that it's saved.
I've started some foundation work on translating the user interface as well. So I will eventually need some help - like translation to Swedish! Thanks :)
Well actually i did type Swedish first and was surprised there was no Swedish, so if possible it could be good to have both.
Swedish is not a large language but with English, Swedish and Polish we are already few million :)
It now has both the English Name and native name appear when you set languages. I still have to add feedback when it's changed: https://github.com/Horndev/zapread.com/issues/127
