About i18n on WriteFreely

I only saw one post mentioning i18n support, and it’s also for write.as only. Just setting up a WriteFreely instance for Chinese so I went with my own way of translating it at https://github.com/laosb/writefreely-iw/tree/iw-o.

Does WriteFreely have any plan to go i18n?

Hi there – thanks for sharing your work! WriteFreely currently does i18n with our web-core package. (This was only limited to Write.as when it was closed-source.) Any help or suggestions you can offer in that area would be much appreciated!

Thank you for your reply. Actually I’ve submitted a PR to improve Chinese translation there.

A problem I could see is that, it doesn’t cover many strings. It seems that my unfinished version of translation contained more strings than it. I don’t know a lot of Golang, So in my fork I went with i18next with a plugin loc-i18next to make a frontend-only translation. If you think this acceptable, I would try to make it a PR, but I can also help expand the coverage and do the Chinese translation.

Has there been any update about i18n of WriteFreely, as the code itself, not write.as instance?

Already shared with the team, but https://projectfluent.org/ is a very promising project from the team that brought Rust to the world :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi, I hope to create an instance for Chinese too. I used yunohost to install writefreely.

Would you please tell me which files or configs in your github file shall I added to my writefreely instance, in order to localize it for Chinese writer.

Thanks.
