The invitation-webpages should be translated to more languages

,

Currently, https://i.delta.chat/ and, more importantly, the invitation-link-webpages like https://i.delta.chat/#n=誰か are always in English, which is not understandable for most people; especially for people who learned a language that is not written with latin text, as their native language. It would be good if those pages would be translated.

Note: while common web-browsers usually offer automatic translation, that is most-commonly done by someone-elses-computer (usually Google’s); so this can indirectly be a privacy-issue too. Having the pages already translated, would (normally) prevent that.
Because the invitation-pages can often contain someone-elses personal information (usually their name), it may also be a good idea to prevent such browsers from offering to translate the page. For Chromium-based browsers, that can be done with the meta-tag google with the content notranslate, according to the documentation of Chromium.

The page is already internationalized. Please state which language you would like to contribute translation to. It is already available in English, Russian and French:

The rest of the website has been translated more extensively by now, but would also welcome contribution:

Translation in Firefox runs client-side, though. People were also using offline translation extensions in various browsers for decades.

Thanks for the information. :)
I proposed a german translation and a change to make the text above and below the QR-code translatable (both have been accepted already).

Can someone change the end of the title of this topic from [to Japanese] to to more languages? The japanese symbols in the link were only a visual example; this is meant to be about many languages, not a specific one. I cannot edit the title and my message anymore, for some reason.

If the translations for the invitation-pages were also available on Transifex, like the translations for the app and website, those would be translated much more likely; considering that the git-repository is not easy to discover, that file-based translations over a pull-request are not a particularly accessible way for adding translations, and, that apparently, there are not enough people for a quick review-process.

Sharing invitation-links is the simplest way to invite people to chat via Delta Chat, if the pages can be understood by the invited people, so translating these pages will likely result in more people using Delta Chat.

If there is a good reason not to use Transifex for that, a link from the website of Delta Chat, where the link to Transifex is, would at least make it much more discoverable.

The Delta Chat mastodon account could just put out a post asking for contributions to translate that page. I bet it would be done quite quickly.

Please add the polish translation. I have no GH account.

Object.assign((typeof window === 'undefined' ? module.exports : window).i18n = (typeof window === 'undefined' ? module.exports : window).i18n || {}, {
  pl: {
    TitleText: 'Połącz się przez Delta Chat',
    DescriptionText: 'Delta Chat jest aplikacją działająca na bazie e-mail',
    FormBlurbText: 'Stwórz zaproszenie do Delta Chat',
    StepCodeText: 'Otwórz Delta Chat, następnie przejdź do <b>QR kod → Pokaż QR kod zaproszenia → Skopiuj do schowka</b>',
    StepPasteText: 'Wklej w to pole:',
    StepShareText: 'Udostępnij wygenerowany link przez inne kanały',
    ShareLinkText: 'Otwórz link',
    JoinText: 'Powiedz cześć',
    JoinGroupText: 'Dołącz',
    ChatText: 'Otwórz chat',
    DownloadText: 'Pobierz Delta Chat',
    OtherDeviceText: 'Naciśnij jeśli masz Delta Chat na innym urządzeniu',
    ScanQRText: ' Zeskanuj, aby otworzyć chat na innym urządzeniu',
  },
});

I opened a pull-request for that.

Corrected version of pl.js:

Object.assign((typeof window === 'undefined' ? module.exports : window).i18n = (typeof window === 'undefined' ? module.exports : window).i18n || {}, {
  pl: {
    TitleText: 'Połącz się przez Delta Chat',
    DescriptionText: 'Delta Chat jest aplikacją działająca na bazie e-mail',
    FormBlurbText: 'Stwórz zaproszenie do Delta Chat',
    StepCodeText: 'Otwórz Delta Chat, następnie przejdź do <b>QR kod → Pokaż QR kod zaproszenia → Skopiuj do schowka</b>',
    StepPasteText: 'Wklej w to pole:',
    StepShareText: 'Udostępnij wygenerowany link przez inne kanały',
    ShareLinkText: 'Otwórz link',
    JoinText: 'Powiedz cześć',
    JoinGroupText: 'Dołącz',
    ChatText: 'Otwórz czat',
    DownloadText: 'Pobierz Delta Chat',
    OtherDeviceText: 'Naciśnij jeśli masz Delta Chat na innym urządzeniu',
    ScanQRText: 'Zeskanuj, aby otworzyć czat na innym urządzeniu',
  },
});
