It's notable the Kubernetes community just treats translations as code and that has served them decently, but they have invested in doing public "doc sprints" to help on board and train folks.

I'm kinda interested in the human based tools more than automating translations. From what I've been told, the automation quality is so-so.

But, we have people interested in translating docs. But, our process for doing so is developer focused and non-devs who want to do translations will have a hard time. I'm wondering if there's a way to ease their flow. I was reminded of the simple experience Drupal had and was wondering if any other tools make it that easy.

I have not tried this program yet, but we could potentially use our Azure sponsorship money to consume this service and provide localization support for the website.

I'd be most curious to see how it'd handle syntax and code blocks.

Subject: [cncf-helm] localizing Helm docs [feedback requested]

 

The Helm website and docs are setup for localization / i18n. The flow of contributing translations is the same as contributing docs and code.

This has left me wondering... should Helm use some outside tooling to make the translation process easier? Is there something you're familiar with and would suggest? To seed the conversation, I was looking at https://gitlocalize.com/.

Do you have any tips or pointers? We want to make the process easier. Especially for non-devs.
