Wiki in English

[Sispheor]

Nice project, but everything is in french, even the wiki and new issues.

Ps: Je suis français. :)

Ok at the beginning Jarvis was full english (old site).
I decided to switch to French because 99% of its users are french speaking (because they come from my youtube channel). Though I kept the program in english (and coding of course) so that everyone can use it.
Since a moment, I am thinking to add a translate button (using google translate) to all wiki pages. Quick & dirty but we will have a wiki in 94 languages at zéro cost 😄
What do you think?
I also want to translate the program (install wizard, menus, ...) for non-english speaking people, see #55

I just say that. On github, everything need to be in english. If you want a community around your project.

You'll also need to add some comments in your code maybe. It can be useful to integrate new dev.

@alexylem I approve @Sispheor idea. :). If you want a huge community around this project, write in english and french ( two subsections) the issues, the comments and the wiki :)

I feel too lazy to translate the whole wiki for now, that's why I proposed google translate buttons in the first place. But you guys are right, it should be at minimum all english...

@alexylem Could you say here what's your preference?

• Using GitHub Wiki functionnality
• Adding a new section for each language on http://www.domotiquefacile.fr/jarvis
• Use an external tool like ReadTheDocs

There is a fresh test of http://readthedocs.io/ project:
http://jarvis-wikijm.readthedocs.io/fr/latest/

It grab by itself 'Api reference internal' and 'Api reference public' coming from https://github.com/alexylem/jarvis/tree/master/docs folder

And I started to translate documentation in English, see an overview here.

I was already using github wiki before but migrated to new site because of its limitations.
I am planning to have the site in multi-language, at least french and english should be enough.
Read the docs is beautiful but Jarvis website is more than a doc, there are plugins, chat, ...
My next step is to activate localization in the site and translate all pages (I don't know yet what is the most efficient way to do this in Drupal). For the translation itself it will be quite quick.
