Arabic/Hebrew/right-to-left translators wanted for Betty

Help

Betty is a program that can turn your (Gramps) family trees into websites ready for publication (https://betty.readthedocs.io/). We’re on the verge of releasing 0.4.0 (which has seen many internal improvements), and following that, we’re looking to refresh the entire look and feel of the sites Betty generates, to be fully accessible, more customizable, and, importantly, to support languages written right-to-left, such as Arabic and Hebrew.

In order to help us design and test this new look, having realistic text in such languages is extremely helpful. As such, I am asking people here to help us contribute translations. Betty uses Weblate, which is the same platform Gramps itself uses for the community to collaborate on translations.

To help out, please log in at Betty/Betty @ Hosted Weblate, find the language of your choice, and start translating.
(If you associate your Weblate account with your Github account, then you will also automatically be credited not only on Weblate itself, but also at Contributors to bartfeenstra/betty · GitHub).

Thank you! Please let me know if you have any questions here :slight_smile:

@bartfeenstra Did you get any new translators to volunteer to translate your project?

@Nick-Hall Thanks for asking. No, not yet :slight_smile: I’m almost ready with the new front-end, though with RTL planned as a follow-up, so hopefully that’ll be encouraging for folks.

@avma @yaron
Have you noticed this request? Can you ‘ping’ any other RTL users who might volunteer?

The new front-end has since been released as part of Betty 0.4.8, and can be enjoyed at the demonstration and example sites:

Support for RTL languages will be added in the near future as part of a follow-up issue (Add RTL support to Raspberry Mint · Issue #2326 · bartfeenstra/betty · GitHub)
