Vue Storefront VS Weblate

4+ years in and we are 100+ people company covering most of the commerce platforms out there - check it out www.vuestorefront.io

We're currently building an integration between Vue Storefront (https://www.vuestorefront.io/) and WooCommerce.

If you are looking for a production-ready Nuxt application with Shopify, check out https://www.vuestorefront.io/ and especially, the integration with Shopify https://docs.vuestorefront.io/shopify/.

Vue Storefront is an open source frontend framework for headless ecommerce built on top of Vue.js. It provides ready-made integrations to existing ecommerce platforms and allows you to extend the framework to build your own integration.

To enable Cache on the browser level, we will be using a http-cache package from Vue Storefront that you can check out here.

Vue Storefront is Lightning-Fast Frontend Platform for Headless Commerce. Boost your site performance, shape the customer journey and free your developer's creativity with Vue Storefront, the last frontend you will ever need.

For the storefront you have many options. For instance, there is Vue Storefront or Next.js Commerce.

Vue storefront is an open source platform that provides a storefront for ecommerce platforms. Although it integrates with many monolithic platforms, it is made specifically for headless commerce platforms.

Personally if I were hiring for this today I'd look for someone with prior experience with a "headless" solution that works with multiple ecommerce platforms. Vue Storefront and Gatsby are the best of the bunch in my opinion.

For translations I can recommend you to use sites such as Crowdin, OneSky, Transifex, Weblate. Lot of smaller (singe or small team) developers are handling translations with the help of their users. You would be surprised how easy and how fast it is to manage translations at no (or nearly) cost this way. There is a lot of users willing to help to translate the app to their native languages.

weblate.org — It's free for libre projects up to 10,000 string source for the free tier, and Unlimited Self-hosted on-premises.

WebLate (their projects dashboard)

I'm using weblate.org. It's open source so it made the most sense to me to use for an open source Android app. It can also be used for free. It's not trivial to use but can be managed.

if the author of the app use a public translation service like https://weblate.org/ or https://crowdin.com/ you can do it via web browser.

For translation, using a Weblate instance makes a lot more sense over using Google Sheets https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate

hosted.weblate.org is only free for open-source projects, but it shouldn't be hard to find alternative hosting, or launch a Docker container in the cloud??

If there is not any, i can recommend Weblate, which is open source translation platform and hosting is free on their side for open source projects, or you can also self-host it.
