    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.

    > 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.)
