    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.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • Pootle

    Online translation tool

  • fluent

    Fluent — planning, spec and documentation (by projectfluent)

    Project mention: Use YouTube to improve your English pronunciation | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-30

    Tried BoldVoice right now and almost immediately hit a bit of awkwardness: “Tomorrow, we’ll work on Practice your consonant skills”. Usually I wouldn’t complain about this sort of thing, but in a language learning app it seems unfortunate. (Mozilla’s Project Fluent[1] was built to handle these situations in a localization setting, but you can probably get away with something much simpler.)

  • tolgee-platform

    Developer & translator friendly web-based localization platform

    Project mention: Building a multi-language app with Vue JS. 🌐 | dev.to | 2024-01-13

    You can learn more do about this platform on their website Tolgee.

  • Fluent

    Rust implementation of Project Fluent

    Project mention: Libxo: The Easy Way to Generate Text, XML, JSON, and HTML Output | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-14

    > Typical printf usage is imperative and additive:

    > if (enter) printf("Hello "); else printf("Goodbye "); printf("World!\n");

    And unless you want your translator to hate you, you really, really mustn’t do this in user-facing output.

    (OK, you can if you really want to and if you’re ready to give them the same tools[1], but it won’t be simple. Although I’m unaware of any professional translators supporting this either—most use a CAT, and the Fluent approach ignores those.)

  • fluent.js

    JavaScript implementation of Project Fluent

    Project mention: Internationalize TypeScript app | /r/node | 2023-04-26

    Want to quick internationalize your app? You can use com.hydroper.ftl from NPM, which uses Fluent. Should work for browser (if you use Webpack targetting "browser") and NodeJS. It uses Intl from ECMA-402 and @fluent/bundle.

    Just use Scribble. Your method is highly inefficient using an object for each character, and Scribble will handle everything you need and a lot more very efficiently.
