[FSFE Zurich] Fwd: Re: turning local group's website to multi-language

[Ralf Hersel]

Hello

FSFE attempts to make 'Lernen wie die Profis' multilingual. Max already provided
a pull request. Technically it seems to be quite easy.
Is there anybody at FSFE-ZH who would like to volunteer? Maybe Alex?

Best regards
Ralf

Hi Fani, hi Ralf,

I made a first proposal on turning this site into multi-language:

  https://git.fsfe.org/fsfe-zh/lernenwiedieprofis.ch/pulls/1

It's very simple, no language switcher yet (as this would involve also
changing the submoduled theme), and only a few pages. But it works
surprisingly well.

Let's discuss further in the issue if you want. I take out the System
Hackers as this is not really their area of tasks.

Best,
Max
