Hi all, while doing some work on cordova-docs I also took a look at the translations again.
Translations are (theoretically) done on Crowdin, synced from and to Github: https://crowdin.com/project/cordova Unfortunately this doesn't really seem to work: 1. There is no (working) documentation on how to import or export files from or to Crowdin: https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs/blob/master/doc/translate.md 2. There is no way to figure out the current state of the translations vs. the actual documentation. 3. From looking at the languages I understand: Translations are _very_ outdated vs. the actual documentation. 4. There are translated files for files that do not exist in English any more: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13161 5. There seem to be lots of auto translated bits in different languages, also Source Code and other technical stuff was (automatically) translated in several languages: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11414 To summarize: No translating is happening because of the above facts. The current translations are out of date, unmaintained, contra productive or even misleading. My suggestion: Let's just face it and declare translation bankruptcy. We remove all translated content from the docs repo (latest + dev version only) and redirect each link to the matching English version. Agree? Disagree? Suggestions?
