We use crowdfunded docs, which in theory is supposed to make translation easier (and does in practice). We already have a lot of translation memory, and we can even use the machine translation feature to translate as a last resort. I think our problem is the lack of automation to get the Crowdin translations into the codebase.
That change isn’t technically complex, but just needs to get the time and effort dedicated. I estimate it would take 2 weeks of full-time work to get working seamlessly. Would anyone that works on Cordova full-time be up to prioritise this? If so, I can work with them to make it happen.
