Now that there are many translators contributing, do you guys think a i18n project could be of interest for something like GSoC? I'd like to know specially from people that have experienced Julia's GSoC projects, or are currently participating, such as @ChrisRackauckas, who has a proyect with @miguelraz and @dpsanders :
I've offered my help to @miguelraz too, and I hope to learn how GSoC works, maybe by next GSoC we can have a i18n proyect if there is demand.
Basically it would consist in developing the needed infrastructure and integrate the i18n processes into the doc systems for julia and it's package ecosystem.
Currently this is all the support for i18n there is AFAIK in main julia:
I'll try to get as much as I can, going for the time being.
:D
starting with Gettext.jl

hi I've joined japanese members in transifex today, and tried making some translation. By the way I found the last review was done 10 months ago. Is japanese team active now?

Check out this links so you can get in touch with the Japanese community
There you'll meet @singez0r who is interested in the transifex French translation and is already contributing over there! :clap:
I have also let him know that he can contact you here.
Please let me know if you have any comments about this, thanks in advance!
Discord has many advantages, like voice chats!!
I'm still thinking in the structure of the new chat rooms, but I do want to move this chat room over there, since using channels #french #english #spanish, etc. Will greatly aid us.
Everyone if wellcome of course!
Cheers

How about using a Stack channel instead? I don't really can afford being on a third chat server

Oh, I'm seeing lots of i18n emails, sorry I missed those, I'll check them out, and think of suggestions for the whole translating process, thank you for pinging me!

@waldyrious
Great :) I thought I'd make sure in case you were simply unaware rather than explicitly prioritizing other stuff (which would be perfectly fine, of course)

I'm trying to come up with good suggestions, I'd like others to also take the lead as you have, this is not my project only and I want it to succeed, but there hasn't been much support or interest into promoting this. The support comes from the translators and reviewers of course, but as discussed previously, if they feel their work is for nothing, then they stop doing it.
I have a new job that is very demanding, specially because is not near my home, I expect moving closer to work this new year ASAP to have more time on my hands.
