Language/Translation support

[melo0187]

Hi!

I was wondering if it is possible to get the output in another language than English.

Does your theme support this? Does jsonresume actually support this?
I wouldn't mind adding translations for German for example on my own and sending a PR for inclusion.
Just wondering if it is possible.

Thanks in advance!

I would also like to help in German translation because I want to create my resume in German. Now I have an English resume.

I'm not aware of jsonresume supporting this. I've also seen some chinese version of this theme floating around on the internet, so I suspect a fork is the only sensible option.

We could link from the readme.md to the language forks of course :)

I suspect a fork is the only sensible option.

This is exactly what I ended up doing back then: https://github.com/melo0187/jsonresume-theme-paper-ger

I never officially published this on npm and I explained in my fork's README why.

However you can still use it to generate your CV, which will look like this: https://melo.myds.me/cv_print_ger.html

This will of course force you to "maintain" a German version of your resume.json file.

I personally don't mind not having the theme on npm, because I just wrote a very simple script style Node.js application that requires both a web and this paper theme, reads both english and german JSON files and passes them to the theme's render function, generating both a redacted and a full German and print friendly CV with my fork of @TimDaub's theme and an English redacted CV with my fork of the "elegant" theme (see here), which looks like this:
