Localization Support

[Gilbert142]

This issue tracks the technical discussion about the proposal to integrate multiple languages into GAB's bot responses.

Currently, we're probably going to keep the web interface in English, but this could change during the course of planning this out. Of course, you'll be able to change your language settings from within the administration panel, probably on the same page as auto-translate (bonus points cuz it fits nicely under the "command-list" submenu).

When we confirm that we actually want to do this, and we have enough users who are willing to contribute translations, I'll create a PR that tracks the actual development of the integration and close this issue, this PR will then most likely merge into v4.2. Until then, happy discussing!

Here's Vlad's original announcement about it for more context if needed:

To join the team (whenever that will be a thing, we'll make another announcement for that) you'll preferably need to speak your language fluently. That means no Google Translate, no MIcrosoft Translate, no Translator Translate.
Also, my idea for this was to only replace the message content (embed and all that) but keep the webpage in english (unless the fish can be MLG and add support for translation of the webpage as well). Does that sound good? Let me know in #poll-discussions
And of course, I'll make a nifty template about all the strings that you'll need to translate, what they are used for and etc. (That is, whenever this will happen 😉)

This will NOT affect extensions OR command usage! Keep that in mind! This will only affect the returning strings.

i18n or l10n?

[TTtie]

IMO i18n and l10n are technically the same @ffxhand

[vitalkanev]

@TTtie I prefer i18n, since I heard about it more than 5 times

However, we won't be using either. Apprently @KingDGrizzle has some custom system on it already.

[vladfrangu]

That is, if you will also manage to implement it on web 😉

Also, @ffxhand showed me the system, so cudos to him :D

But yes, I've got a system for it, calmly waiting to be used!

Example from AdgaurdTeam/AdgaurdBrowserExtension with i18n HTML attribute: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardBrowserExtension/blob/ccf5e621240b39f9799ae38a95c6a26d2ea5bb04/Extension/pages/thankyou.html#L4 Brah, Email replies can't embed code
