I started doing the course and found there it was so far only translated into Italian, but a Chinese and German version are on the way, so it seems.

Is there any interest in a Dutch version of this application? I would be up for the task!

Hi @EdgarPost, I've checked our website visitor stats and can see the Netherlands is no. 6 in our country list so a Dutch translation could well be valuable. @greenhsu123 what do you think?

Great, I am already working on it. 👍

How would you like to handle the images, these need to be translated too. Are there source files somewhere that can be used?

@Jenya-design what would be the easiest way to handle translation of text on images in our training course? e.g. https://learn.greensoftware.foundation/introduction

@Jenya-design

@russelltrow I can add those images in Canva with editable text blocks, so anyone can use those as source files to edit the text
Does it work for you?

@Jenya-design I've just seen Canva has automatic translation. Perhaps it's worth testing this to save contributor effort?

Sure @russelltrow I'll share Canva template tomorrow, need some time to reassemble the images there
Last link leads to introduction page, but I'll check Canva tutorial for translations

Thank you @Jenya-design! Amazing that it's possible to automatically translate texts in Canva, that already looks good. However, sometimes it makes more sense to keep words in English in certain contexts, especially in software development. For example, I would probably choose to keep Green Software Principles, and not translate it to Groene softwareprincipes.

I will make sure to make a copy of the file before I edit anything.

Thank you @EdgarPost
Unfortunately translation actually messes with the text blocks, though it keeps text style intact. I translated all and adjusted the blocks, to see worst case scenario from the design point. Sure it needs your review, I'm no translator and don't know a single word in Dutch :)

@russelltrow I've sent you the invitation to GSF Canva, please feel free to adjust the content of Principles folder as you need

Hey @EdgarPost checking in to see if you are still progressing with your translation?

Yes I am, but it's hard to find the time to work on it properly, sorry!

Would it be a good idea to push some of my work to a remote branch?

Hi @EdgarPost, no need to apologise, we hugely appreciate your efforts!

If you could push to a remote branch please, we might be able to attract contributors from our side.
