localisation ?

How about translation of this page in other languages ?
Would you be open to pull request of that kind ?
Do you plan some translation with Weblate or something similar ?

Same question, I'd like to translate it into French. Should we just do it?

[ncase]

Thanks for asking! So, admittedly, my code is very NOT translation-friendly. (I didn't think it was worth making the code flexible to handle translations, since a lot of the essay is highly US-specific) However, someone else managed to translate it into Brazilian Portuguese! They even went the extra mile & added some Brazil-specific information on voting: http://www.rafaelviana.com.br/eleicao/ I can't find their code or Github online, though. But yes, if you want to translate it, feel free to!

Oh great! I was thinking of translating it for France, and adapting some of the example as well.

@GammaNu Were you also thinking of doing French? Have you started?

[xDEADC0DE]

I'm making progress :) What's the font used in the images?

[ncase]

Thanks @xDEADC0DE! The fonts used are:

Poppins: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Poppins

and

Futura Handwritten: http://www.dafont.com/futurahandwritten.font

I'm contributing to the french translation that @xDEADC0DE began. No problem so far (I even found a french example for the spoiler effect). Thanks again, Nicky, for the original material.

[xDEADC0DE]

Oh, thanks! I didn't think I'd have help ^^;
Let's continue on https://github.com/xDEADC0DE/ballot-fr to organize

@ncase just so you know, the french translation is complete and contains some specific about french elections too. Let's hope that will help everyone to think about what is (or should be) a democracy nowadays, starting by a better ballot. Thanks again for the original material.

Oh that's excellent, @borisschapira & @xDEADC0DE! Thank you! I'd love to share it -- what's the best link for me to do that, and, what's your Twitter handles? (I'll share it sometime next week, because this week I'm going to publish a tool to make your own interactive simulations! much excite.)

[borisschapira]

@ncase https://xdeadc0de.github.io/ballot-fr/ and https://borisschapira.github.io/ballot-fr/ are displaying the same content, so feel free to choose any of it. Our handles are the same than on GitHub. Happy to see that a new tool is coming!

[xDEADC0DE]

I'm still improving it, I found some typos and some new examples :)
I wanted to uploaded to my own server once it's done, but for now those 2 urls work fine.
Same twitter handles on Twitter and Github, yes.

Thanks again for the original content, the preview for the next tool looks incredible :)

[xDEADC0DE]

as of today the version at https://xdeadc0de.github.io/ballot-fr/ is the most recent (I've run it through spellcheck). I'm still improving it, I'd like to upload it to my own server once we're happy with it.

[ncase]

Great! I'll share it sometime next week -- right now I'm busy with having just launched LOOPY (http://ncase.me/loopy/), doing bug fixes and replying to a mountain of emails. Many thanks again! :)
