It seems complex and I'd like to know more about the use case here. Even grafana, AFAIK, is not translated. > * Which framework would we use for that (e.g. > https://github.com/i18next/react-i18next)? > * Do we only translate the web UI, or also anything else that's > user-visible in the binary?

We would need a TRANSLATORS.md file Do we make that policy for all projects (alertmanager, pushgateway, blackbox_exporter) ? My 2 cents is that we would better invest in translating the documentation than the actual web UI, but that maybe translating the web UI is not a huge burden. > > Regards, > Julius > > On Tue, Jan 5, 2021 at 11:20 AM Christian Manalo <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > Is it possible to localize the texts displayed on the GUI? > > Any ideas on how to do it? > > > > Thanks > > > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > > "Prometheus Users" group. > > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > > email to [email protected]. > > To view this discussion on the web visit > > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/prometheus-users/0c5ae83e-a414-4de4-ac6b-5fb6ba60ce3fn%40googlegroups.com > > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/prometheus-users/0c5ae83e-a414-4de4-ac6b-5fb6ba60ce3fn%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > > . > > > > > -- > Julius Volz > PromLabs - promlabs.com > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Prometheus Users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/prometheus-users/CAObpH5xZ-t%2BwfMt621Ey5P3%2BCUKPVXdUzJa_nZf-aYKjon77%3DA%40mail.gmail.com. -- Julien Pivotto @roidelapluie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
