Spanish as 4th language?

[StrubT]

Adding an additional language is very easy. Translating the dozens of texts, the example exercises, etc. is what we have to put a lot of effort into.
Who would be able to properly translate to Spanish?

Indeed translating and describing properly is an enormous work. That's why I would add Spanish because the multi-language feature beside the exams is the unique selling point of Progressor. Teachers and students will spend a great amount of time designing exercises. I even would add further help to identify untranslated texts easily.
This work will be the great value of Progressor and not the platform itself. Don't misunderstand me: You did and you are still doing a great work. But after a short time when the platform takes off the real value is the content of Progressor. And this also scares me a little bit. We have to take extremely care of the data and it's safety. If we loose something we will create a greatest damage and loose immediately all credit. Are we ready for this security? I think we have to think about this very, very deeply.

Did you just completely change the topic?
YES, data security is a priority! I also agree that we should provide high-quality exercises on a public sample installation. But this project is open source, it is intended for users to set up their own installations which also forces them to create their own exercises.
I don't expect global customers to use the BUAS installation.

Back to the translation: If you name a person to translate the texts, I can add Spanish as an additional language very easily.

Your right, the issue tracker was not the right place for this discussion.
I will ask Yandy Piedra Guerra [email protected] for the translation.
Is the locals/en.js the only file that we need to translate?

[StrubT]

1. As you correctly guessed, you have to copy lib/locales/en.js to lib/locales/es.js.
   • As you can see in lib/locales/de.js, we did not translate every single line.
   • Please ask Yandy to comply with our format, that way, the translations are always on the same line.
   • Afterwards, I will insert the correct formatting.
2. Additionally, you may also want to translateserver/example-data.js.
3. If you want to do it yourself, you can easily active the language by adding an additional line to lib/i18n.js.
   • The language name is always native (English, Deutsch, Français -> Español)

Salut Thomas, kannst du dem Yandi Developer-Zugriff auf das Repo geben.
Sein github User ist stonewar. Er macht uns die Spanische Übersetzung. Seine
BFH Adresse ist [email protected].

I added him as a collaborator to ProgressorMeteor.
