Description
It is very off-putting to visit a site that is written in a language you can't read.
To fix this problem, many Web sites show small flag icons for famous countries near the top of the page. When users click on a country flag, the site switches to a language of that country.
Let's provide an option on BioViz.org that will let users read the site in Spanish and French, in addition to English.
Questions:
- How can we encode the site in three languages simultaneously without creating a maintenance nightmare?
- How can we make it easy for translators to review translations & fix errors.
If this technical challenge can be solved, we can use a machine translator to create a first draft translation from English (original language). Next we can ask fluent speakers to review and/or correct the translation as needed.
