Translation tool

[eswak]

Should we provide an in-game or external tool to help people translate the app ?

I dont know any translation service. Fast and simple solution I think would be providing link to google spreadsheet with separate tab per lang where volunteers could contribute. On first page would be instruction how to translate. Users could leave their nickname, which we'll put in 'Translators' section maybe in 'Ogame UI++' tab.

I like the google spreadsheet idea ^^

This is the public link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DF1E0AxBPxt4_TahwRMtXePkcGRCkJtpOahhHh4qr2I/ Some cells are protected to avoid vandalism. I wanted to give you write access to them but you have to own gmail address :(

So how do you like the shit, I mean sheet? Dont hesitate to change what you feel need to be changed. Where'll you put the link?

The sheet is fine ^^ I'm not sure i have write access for the protected cells though. And IDK how you feel about it but I should probably own the document since I'm the main editor of the extension.

We could add a button in the settings tab, with little flags to force-switch language (people may like to override the automatically-detected language, and it could be useful for debugging).

I'd rather add some features for now rather than improve the translation process though, the analytics collected about user language shows that main languages are covered. That's why I'm not focusing too much on this feature for now ^^

Count with me for Spanish translations 👍
I think the idea of being able to choose the language it's a plus, still not a really 'needed' feature.
