Details:
I would like to add support for i18n to Freeciv-web. The usage of Freeciv-web
is steadily increasing, and making it available in more languages will help
usage further. In bug #20828 I have added an initial patch for i18n support to
Freeciv-web using the i18next javascript library.
Freeciv-web has some new translatable strings compared to Freeciv, and I think
it would be very helpful if these new translatable strings in Freeciv-web
could be translated by the Freeciv translators in the same way as they
translate other strings. One way to allow this would be that we maintain a
source file containing translatable strings from Freeciv-web in the Freeciv
SVN repository, so translators could easily translate strings there as normal.
This source file could contain only the strictly neccessary translatable
strings, and be carefully reviewed. I would estimate that there is a need for
perhaps 30 or 40 strings, so the work for translators is not that much.
Also, Freeciv-web has a need for the client to specify the server language, I
can patch this on the Freeciv-web side. Also there is a question about what to
do in multiplayer games.
