Ability to localize to German.

[berkes]

A request to localize the interface into German was requested. Dutch would be trivial as well. Other languages could be added later

In order to avoid duplication, we'd need some kind of template or build system for the HTML. We could even move to a frontend-system like e.g. yew or another for this.

But the simplest would be a search/replace template that builds index.html in english, de/index.html in German and nl/index.html in Dutch.
It would grab the strings from a yaml, po or json file and compile them into the final HTML.

If yes, localize it. As a german speaking user I don't feel addressed by the job search.

@sadmin Off course feature-requests are welcome!

When you say "localize"do you mean the entire search page? Or just the toots it indexes? Or a feature to "filter only german" or so?

The last one is planned, the second one already implemented (but must be fine-tuned for german) and the first could be put on the backlog.

What do you think?

@flockingbird I'd expect a german user interface with a filter based on german cities/regions. With the filter applied only toots appear that advertise jobs in that region. For the language of the toots itself I have no preference. I'd recommend not to exclude english toots that contain job descriptions for jobs in german cities since this is pretty common.
