Translations

[1j01]

In the Network Graph, I see someone's translated the README to Korean, and someone's translated the UI into Japanese (probably based on the mspaint UI text?)

We could support tons of translations for the UI with relative ease compared to most projects, because the translation work has already been done, for MS Paint!

If you can get your hands on a version of mspaint.exe from a version of Windows for a given language, you can probably extract the strings from it with something like Strings2 or ResourcesExtract

(assuming it's not built with English strings and then loads other language strings from a MUI file or something; I don't know for sure)

And if you can get your hands on a version of Windows 98 for a given language, you can get mspaint.exe.

The question is, though, what translation system should we use?

I would translate it to german.

That's great! I just don't want you to waste effort on it, so I'd want to see if the shortcut I outlined above is viable first.

Here is a platform: https://ackuna.com

Is that one you've used and would recommend? (Or is it just one you found that looks good?)

[Dtrieb]

That is a platform that I used.
It's easy to use, that's why I choose it.

If you choose it would you use my ref link?

I tried to use it, but the sign up didn't seem to work. I sent some feedback to them.

For excalidraw we've been using crowdin.com and it's been nothing short of awesome. We made a blog post about it: https://blog.excalidraw.com/enabling-translations/

@lipis did all the integration, I'm sure he'll be able to chat with you or maybe even set it up if you'd like.
