Crowdsourced translations (i18n/l10n)

[Cwpute]

Exploring your app, i can see that it's missing a french translation. It's a problem because i want to recommerd this app to relatives, but they are not fluent in english so i have to explain the process step by step. Having my language supported would be a huge improvment for us !
I've also helped localize several projects in french since 2023 and would be happy to help with this one as well :)

It seems new translations are welcomed, but the usual process requires you download the files and edit them on your end, knowing what to do and how to do it, then send them through git.
This solution works for those who are already familiar with git and coding in general, which is unfortunately not the case for many potential translators.

This is why i kindly ask that you allow translating your app through an external crowdsourcing tool.
If you so choose, i'd recommend you allow it through a hosted translation tool like Weblate (which is FOSS and provides free hosting for FOSS projects), because it's crowdsourced and helps a lot with people like me who are not used to coding and using Github 👍

There are also lightweight solutions like these homebrewed tools created by the respective devs of Snappymail and Palcka Tarock.

Finally, whatever solution you prefer, i'd suggest you include a "Translate this app" link in the readme file, as well as tge About section directly your app, so that users who don't see this app in their language easily know how to contribute :)

I strongly believe these changes would greatly help spread your app around and bring in potential new contributions !
