Translations!
I would really like to see some translations of this amazing service. It would increase Imzy's range.
I would offer to voluntarely participate in a translation program for a German translation. I'm an IT student, so I got some coding experience and I'm a native speaker.




With my Imzy developer hat on:
Much of the web interface from Imzy was built with internationalization in mind, mainly because many of us have gone through the pain of adding it after the fact to an existing system, which is usually a complete nightmare.
Having said that, we're still moving really fast in our development, and our main language file for web gets anywhere from 2 to 10 changes a day, before @Kaela comes by and takes a red pen to it to fix our grammar, or adjusting an error message here or there. That file is currently over 2,000 lines long, and growing rapidly.
There is not a planned way for bringing in new language beyond "create a new file called
de.jsonand copy everything over", which isn't much of a plan. Let alone the effort involved with keeping each language file up to date with each correction and addition, and ensuring community additions and changes are not malicious.From personal experience, managing translations in a bilingual system (English and French) was a full time job for one person, and a part time job for another, and that was a much smaller, and closed system.
We'll get to a point where we pick it up as a project, I'm just not sure when that will be.
I believe the same holds true for the apps, but I'm no where near being an app engineer, let alone in their code.
As I said, I would totally be up for a longer term project of translating and translating this. If it helps building the community, especially in my country, I'm in! So let me guess when you get there.
That makes sense! I've definitely seen some error messages that were a bit odd.
Just putting this out there for whenever this might happen: Transifex could be good for this (I used that as a translator, so idk how hard it is to set up, but it was really easy to use).
I could also help out with German. I don't have any programming experience though.

As much as 9gag is a thing in Germany, I could think that imzy would have a bright future over here. Cookie by 9gag failed. But this is like it's better version. Like Cities: Skylines is in relation to Simcity xD
