Internationalization Strategy

Overview

To expand the project's reach and improve accessibility for a global audience, it is recommended to add English as the default language. This will make the project easier to adopt, contribute to, and maintain by international developers and users.

Implementing a structured internationalization (i18n) system will allow the project to support multiple languages in a scalable and maintainable way.

Translation Framework

To facilitate multilingual support, integrate one of the following widely used internationalization libraries:

Option 1 — Vue I18n

If the project is based on Vue:

npm install vue-i18n@11

Option 2 — i18next

A flexible and framework-agnostic internationalization solution:

npm install i18next --save

Both solutions provide:

• Structured translation management
• Language switching
• Localization formatting
• Scalable translation files

Community Translation Platform

To enable community-driven translations, the project should be connected to Weblate, a collaborative translation platform.

This allows contributors to translate the interface into multiple languages through a simple web interface.

Integration Steps

1. Create a project on Weblate
2. Connect the repository
3. Configure translation files
4. Allow community contributions
