In former iterations of the website we had the ability to translate all pages using a content management system. We only had a decent translation in German, a couple of pages in French - and all were constantly outdated. I do not think the feature was/is worth the trouble - there are just too few non-english speaking community members. Top Quote |

Yes, there are few non-english speaking community members. But how will they come to us if we don't provide them pages in their language ? I don't know what is the best solution, but we certainly can do something. Top Quote |

Maybe we could go with the description and the download page only? Busy indexing nil values Top Quote |

These two pages are a good starting point. Maybe the game presentation need to be translated too (because it's the first page we see when the arrive on the website). Top Quote |

Just for be clear: if someone do a translation, the translation will be the default page for users with same language? Or with a flag icon? Cause if it's not directly accessible, it's less interressting. Edited: 2015-12-31, 12:20

I don't think it could be directly accessible. An icon flag is the only solution I have found for the moment. Top Quote |

I thought of a statement on top of a page like "This page is also available in: francaise, dutch, german, ..." where the language name is a link to the localized page. Of course icons of flags are also doable. The content of the main page is hard coded but if you localize it's content to a new wikipage it is no problem to add such links in the main page. Just ask for doing so when you are ready Fight simulator for Widelands: |
