Contributing a German translation

[renao]

Hello everyone,

I'm glad that I found the Green Software Foundation on my journey to find more standards/principles for creating more sustainable software.

After having a good time on your learn page I'd like to share the page with in our company but unfortunately they are not that fluent in English (especially in the electricity and sustainabilty domain) and/or they have to be inspired to make greener software in the future.

So I'd like to contribute a German translation to lower the obstacles to get them started 🙂

I already recognized the Italian localization by @childotg but I began to stumble when I tried to understand how the translations are handled when I started the dev server locally and I always ended on a 404 page, even it seems to lead me to the correct location, e.g. localhost:3000/it/.

Is there a way I can ge things working locally?
I am an experienced dev but not really a js/docusaurus-hero 😬

Anyway I'd go on and start translating the markdown files putting them into a i18n/de folder, like things have been done for the Italian language before.

Have a nice day!

Hello @renao, when you start docusaurus it starts just a single language with the "yarn run start --locale de" directive. You can find more details here: https://docusaurus.io/docs/i18n/tutorial.
Don't worry about in debug you can just see a single language, when the project builds it will generate others.

Thanks a lot @childotg , that'll make things much easier seeing the translations in their context.
I'll give it a shot at the weekend!

Hey @renao did you manage to make any progress? Do you require any further support?

[renao]

Hey @russelltrow thanks for your reply. I have been busy the last months so I had to stop translation.
I'll continue soon, I promise :)

@renao Do you have a repository setup where others can contribute?

[russelltrow]

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

[renao]

Hey @russelltrow , hey @markus-gsf-seidl ,
sorry for coming back at you this late. Life just wanted me to spent the time in another way.

I had issues translating the carbon-domain specific/scientific terms at that time. Perhaps there is someone who has a good grasp on that domain in german. That is where my translation work got stuck and I started doing other things.

I translated the pages locally and just a few weeks ago I deleted the repository - sorry.

Well, if there will someone join with the needed background knowledge, I would help surely.

Hi, I'll gladly contribute to the German translation. Please let me know how I can best support. Take care, Carolin

Hi together, I can also contribute to the German translation. Should we setup a short meeting to discuss where to start? :)

Or is there an update already? :)
