Www.rust-lang.org: [meta] Tracking issue for internationalization

[Manishearth]

This is the tracking issue for internationalization of the website

• [x] Basic implementation https://github.com/rust-lang/www.rust-lang.org/pull/792
• [ ] Add translation strings everywhere (help wanted! https://github.com/rust-lang/www.rust-lang.org/issues/798)
• [ ] Translate all the things

[Julian-Wollersberger]

Is there a place for language-specific diskussions?
For example, in German "you" can either be translated to an informal "du" or a formal "Sie". It is important to get this consistent across the site.
Some sort of discussion and resulting guidelines would be helpful for all languages.

@Julian-Wollersberger We're thinking about a place to set those up, in the meantime, feel free to use #website in the rust-lang discord for that. (Or discussion what a solution would be)

[merkrafter]

@skade Is there any solution in place yet? I also would like to provide german translations, but obviously don't want to work on something that somebody else has done in the background already.

Hi there,

First of all: Thanks for all the great work!

I'd like to help out with the spanish translation... what's the state of this?

I noticed there is no spanish _option_ in the language selector in the top right hand corner of the website, so I started searching to see if I could help with this translation.

I followed the guidelines in TRANSLATIONS.md and created an account on pontoon, but in there all strings seem to have been translated and reviewed already... :thinking:

I also forked and cloned this repo to dig around and found an _almost_ complete spanish translation in the locales/es directory in the master branch. Judging by the commit logs, the most recent changes to these files seem to come from pontoon, ...

I had no trouble running the site locally (master branch) and _enabling_ the spanish translation in
here :star:

But I then noticed there were a few things missing in the spanish translation (ie: _thanks panel_ in homepage, privacy page, sponsors page), ... how can I add these? Do these files/strings need to be added in pontoon or should I send a PR directly to this repo, and if so what branch should it point to?

[Manishearth]

@lupomontero please edit all translations on Pontoon, they all need to be reviewed by the spanish team. You migth want to contact them for reviews.

Once it's at 100% you can ask us to enable it.

I'm going to close this, as far as I can tell the website now uses fluent everywhere, and the final item of translating everything is better tracked through Pontoon and/or creating issues for specific language translations.
