Add right-to-left (RTL) language support #513
Comments
Related to lots of "localization" issues, but esp #435 (comment) and #320 |
Going to mark this as high-priority, as it came out in sync-up convo that this is critical to polis' use in Lebanon's crisis: https://hackmd.io/@patcon/B19Vz-kzw cc: @patrickas |
We're based in Israel and are interested in using the platform, but not having proper RTL support is an issue for us. |
Thanks so much for chiming in, Aviran! In the meantime (before we have RTL support), would you be willing to provide translations in advance if I added |
The main interface for participants is Research |
No problem. I'm not familiar with Mojito, looks neat |
Rockin. Ok, thanks @avirankatzsofi! I've added Hebrew as a locale, and it's ready for translation by anyone with a GitHub account 🙂 https://polis-translations.herokuapp.com/workbench?repoIds[]=1&repoIds[]=2&bcp47Tags[]=he-IL |
I tried to get back to it and continue with the translation, but the link is broken at the moment. Are you deprecating the use of mojito? |
Yes, polis team requested it not have ppl directed to use it anymore, as it isn't possible to maintain with the limited capacity of the core team. But it's def still possible to add new translations directly into the codebase :) you can copy the file for English into a new file beside the others, and submit a "pull request". That something you'd be comfortable doing? I'd be happy to walk you through it, or in a pinch, you could just make a google doc and I could make sure it's formatting and submitted into the codebase

Thanks @patcon! I'll find the time to add an |
Woo! Thanks for your willingness to give it a go!
And yeah, exactly :) so something is better than nothing |
Hello! Reviving this discussion - any news on the RTL issue? |
Hey Daniel! Remind me, are you comfortable with JS programming? Or would you have anyone in your network who you could recruit to implement this? I would imagine the first step would be for (1) someone research best-practices for this, (2) share some links to confirm their preferred approach, and then (3) making a quick proposal in this issue. Obviously, it's open source, so someone can just "write the code" with talking first, but after getting the 👍 , they could (4) dive into the work knowing that they were initiating work that's likely to be merged :) EDIT: You're welcome to join these places:

Hey Patrick,
I was a programmer but I think this task is out of my scope. Also, I don't
believe we'll have someone for the job in the coming few months.
Theoretically I could research some best practices and link them, but there
is also a decent chance I'll be posting irrelevant stuff.
I saw this task was removed from your "to do". What does this mean? Is this
task somehow prioritized? Can I affect its prioritization?
Thanks!

that they were initiating the sort of work that will likely be able to be

I don't have any insight on that, so I'll leave someone else to respond with the inside scoop 🙏 I have further questions, but I don't think this issue is the appropriate place, so pls do jump into the discord chat linked above if you'd like to continue discussing |
