update i18n translate plugin to use Transifex

[yangwao]

Use proper translation management system, so anyone can contribute through transifex or similar systems

• seems vue/cli is using it https://www.transifex.com/vuejs/vue-cli/
  we are looking to have various translation focused on Asian countries, in a particular order
• Korean
• Chinese
• japan

Few approaches I've found

• https://www.codeandweb.com/babeledit/tutorials/how-to-translate-your-vue-app-with-vue-i18n

• https://lokalise.com/blog/vue-i18n/

• https://medium.com/hong-kong-tech/dynamic-translate-using-vue-i18n-vuejs-c730093a63e2

• maybe https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wealthbar/i18n ?

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/@transifex/native

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/@transifex/cli

This one is easy to set up.

You have to :

1. Create a Transifex account
2. Join or recreate "Kodadot" organisation
3. Follow these steps to link github project
4. Edit the Yaml config. Mine is:

filters:
  - filter_type: file
    # all supported i18n types: https://docs.transifex.com/formats
    file_format: KEYVALUEJSON
    source_language: en
    source_file: src/locales/en.json
    # path expression to translation files, must contain <lang> placeholder
    translation_files_expression: 'src/locales/<lang>.json'

5. Profit.

Some of the locales should be renamed to match the right language.
Here you can find an automatic pull request example to see what it looks like.

Nice!

But who will receive contribution credit for translation, transifex bot? If I'm right transifex it bridges through their bot to make it simple, which is doable, but we are quite loosing credits for person who contributed, hmm

Yes Transifex bot will do pull request.
Transifex user base don't have to link their github account to participate in some projects, you will always be able to see who has contributed the most to their platform but not here and I understand your concerns.

The good thing is that we can set up an approbation workflow where when we reach more than 80% of translated text it will create an automatic pull request .
