Translation

[differentreality]

Setting up translation tool for OSEM.

Transifex is for free for open source projects:
https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/osem

But I have no idea how to produce the initial translation file that must be uploaded in transifex, so that the translation can begin.
Supported formats for translation file:

You can use l10n.js on osem's strings in order to read the language of the browser and get osem automatically translated to the translated languages on Transifex.

The "normal" rails translation uses yaml files.

Transifex supports yaml files. We have to create the strings in en-US format and send it to transifex.

This is live now, although broken as it can't read the api key from the config.

To translation you need to navigate from project's page as following: https://www.transifex.com/organization/opensuse-community/dashboard/osem -> Translation button -> Select language -> Select Resource

Assuming you have signed up yourself as a translator for OSEM, to translate in German, for example, you go to:
https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/osem/translate/#de_DE/eventsopensuseorg/31056760

In order for the translations to be visible, they need to be deployed:
https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/osem/live/#en/events.opensuse.org
In settings (top right icon) -> 'Take Live' -> Select the languages -> Publish

If we have published translations, we should be seeing a language selector (bottom right corder).

Works now
