Is Athletics.app suitable for international competitions (translations)?

Question

For competitions in border regions, but also for other competitions, it would be very useful if Athletics.app could also be displayed in more languages, at least in English. Are there any plans in that direction?

There are indeed plans to make Athletics.app available in other languages. We will start with English. I expect this to become available around 2019.

Hi, thanks for this answer. Need help with the translations? With many hands it will be less work and faster (this year?)! I have a lot of experience with web translations. Maybe an initiative via open source translators? I have made a translation environment available (with a few words) at: http://glotpress.carry2web.nl/projects/atletieknu. One example project there is Oscar, which has been translated from English into Dutch. http://glotpress.carry2web.nl/projects/atletieknu

Hello Carry,

Thank you for offering to help with the translation!
We could really use your help :)
We first have a technical challenge. During the development of Athletics.app, the option to support multiple languages was not (totally) taken into account. However, we did take this into account during the development of the Jury App, so it is already translatable :)
However, for the website we first need to do a lot of rebuilding before we can start translating. I don't expect to be able to start this until the end of 2018, so hopefully we will have translation files available for translation in 2019. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We will probably opt for an open source approach so that corrections in translations can be made quickly and easily :)

Hello,

It is now 2019. Are translations already needed?

Is my offer of glotpres still needed or have you chosen a different approach?

Let me know what you decide

Regards,

Carry
