#2Hi HN,
Our project is Logto, an open-source solution that helps you build the sign-in, auth, and user identity within minutes.
The first public beta launched two months ago, and it is incredible that many people love our project and are willing to contribute even before our “Bounty Hunter” series. The community contributed translations of Français, Türkçe, 한국어, and Português, along with connectors for Azure AD, Kakao, Naver, and Discord.
We cannot be here without the community’s help, and we’d like to hear more from you. Feel free to let us know if Logto can help you or what you expect from Logto. Cheers!

Hi, this is super cool, congrats! I went through your documentation and it looks like your contributors have to manually edit files. My friend and I are currently working on an open source git-based translation editor and dev tools to ease contributing and managing translations. Check out our repo and let me know what you think! https://github.com/inlang/inlang

Looks like nice competition for Lokalise.

#7The community has been fantastic for translating Outline too, we've dealt with some small bits of abuse and misunderstandings but the result is currently 21 languages supported, most with over 80% of the application covered. It's taken about 2 years to get this far…

21 languages is a great achievement. What small bits of abuse and misunderstandings did you encounter along the way?

#9Isn't it "i18n"?
We put all the translations in a spreadsheet, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FoYdyEraEQuWofzbYCDP.... We didn't like the idea of storing in any more complex than a csv file.
All changes are shown to us in a diff before we merge, the csv is then downloaded and the i18n files created automatically after we merge the branch.
We've never had a single instance of abuse in over 10 years.

It certainly makes you realize that translation is as much an art as a science. For example we have a core concept of "Collections", many languages this could be translated in multiple different equivalents and we want to make sure that the closest is chosen. Misunderstanding might be someone that translated to Collection -> Drawer which isn't really correct.
Abuse has been minimal, mainly things like adding smiley faces into translation strings or just what you'd consider to be purposefully poor translation here and there. We use CrowdIn to manage the community and it provides tools to ban contributors in these cases.
