Easy-peasy: Idea: use funding to translate website docs

Created on 28 Oct 2019 · 10Comments · Source: ctrlplusb/easy-peasy

Now that I have started to receive some funding I am trying to think of ways that I can improve the library. One way would be to provide translations of the docs. I had a look at the analytics and it appears that there are a fair amount of visitors with zh-cn and ru-ru as their locales.

I can start looking into services to help with this, but wanted to put this issue down here in case anyone has experience with this.

Sorry for kicking an old issue here..

Would it actually make a difference for any of those users/visitors, or are they perfectly happy reading English docs? And how would they know if the translated version has been kept up to date?

Docs being available in multiple languages doesn't bother me as such, but if I know the English version is likely to be the most correct / up-to-date one, I would 100% not bother looking at the docs in my native language.

Tutorials is another matter though. You kind of expect those to go stale after some time has passed.
