New political language

[raoulkramer]

Hello I would like to have a separate language added to crowdin for political jargon/ terminology in English, Dutch and Georgian added to CONSUL. Thanks!

Hi, @raoulkramer 😄.

I'm not sure I understand the issue 🤔. Could you provide some examples showing when this feature would be useful?

Thanks!

Hi @javierm 👍 ,
We have been implementing Consul for political organisations for a while now. I think this year we will get to about 11 political organisations (time to get certified 😁 ).

The terminology used in political language is different, like proposal = motion , annotation = amendment ect. Normally we do this in the custom language files but that is risky and cumbersome. It would be great we could develop a language set for political use and that will lead to more Consul users.

Thanks 🥇

I see 🤔.

I'm afraid enabling new languages in crowdin for these cases would be really hard to maintain. We're not talking about different languages here but about different terminology.

Besides, so far CONSUL is mainly used by political entities, so political language should be the default language 😄. In the case of Dutch and Georgian, feel free to coordinate with other translators and update the translations through Crowdin so we use the terms that most entities/governments from the Netherlands or Georgia consider appropriate. English is a bit trickier, since it's used by entities from many different countries, so we can't change anything unless there's proper community support. In this case, using custom translations is still the way to go; suggetions to make using custom translations less cumbersome are welcome 😉.

Ah I understand,

We testing now, if structured translation will work, with our local weblate environment for this specific type of language terminology. When is useful and manageable, I will let you know so we can see if it is interesting to migrate to Crowdin on a later point. Thanks again 👍
