Revision as of 19:08, 14 May 2013
Hi Crox, great poster tool, thank you very much!
Is it maybe possible to provide a translated version? This might be more encouraging to locals to respond. I would have offered to help translating the poster to German, but looking at the Babel template on your user page you probably don't need help there ;) LeslieHapablap (talk) 05:06, 11 May 2013 (EDT)
- Hello, and thank you for your feedback.
- Since the documents are generated dynamically, each text can be easily translated (with the exception of the customized comic), and I'm happy to implement that feature. I actually considered a multilingual design similar to this Berlin poster, but dropped it in favor of the current version mainly because most of the wiki is written in English anyway.
- Maybe another option instead of translating the whole poster would be to add a prominent localized "what is this about" text/link? It should even be possible to "calculate" the local language at the geohash and embed this dynamically.
- What are your thoughts?
- You are right about most of the wiki being English, but many of the important pages explaining what geohashing is about are translated to several languages. A translated version of the poster should probably include a link to the main page in this language (if available). A prominent localized "about" text passage is of course also fine! But If you calculate the language based on the coordinates I would vote for a manual override option because there will be many special cases (e.g. Südtirol).
- Thanks for considering to implement this! --LeslieHapablap (talk) 14:28, 12 May 2013 (EDT)
