Thank you @koji ! This is definitely something we would love to do.

Do you have any pointers for good references or frameworks to help with this would be awesome.

This project by https://github.com/lukeed/rosetta @lukeed seems like a super interesting and javascript-y way to add internationalization. Other references would be great!

Hi @joeyklee! Thank you for your response.

I think gatsby-plugin-i18n could be good since this site is using Gatsby.
Maybe, @wenqili has some thoughts on the plugin.

To get non-engineers, Crowdin is a good option. Personally I translate some statements for Material-UI. Crowdin offers a free plan to open source.

I think rosetta is also good.

Recently, I saw an open-source product on Producthunt.

Yess! @koji you are an amazing treasure trove of knowledge. I will give some of these links a look.

There's definitely a lot of opportunities here and I wonder what suggestions you might have for approaching this.

On one hand there is the ml5 website that only really is comprised of:

1. landing page
2. community blog page
3. About page

On the other hand, our ml5 reference page actually is a different micro-site built on Docsify (at the moment) that lives in the ml5-library repo and is not actually part of the ml5-website repo.

Lol, actually I thought why ref page is learn. ??? when I saw it.
Now, I got it.

I guess community blog page isn't really necessary to be translated since people can access demos and they could understand something.

I think the landing page might be good as a starting point. Probably most people will access it instead of About page lol.

[joeyklee]

This is a great point @koji. At least starting is certainly worth doing.

I hope at some point this summer we could do some major updates to ml5js.org page which include some great design contributions from our past work-study students as well as to forefront our community statement on the main page.

@joeyklee, Sounds awesome.
If I can do anything, please let me know.

[joeyklee]

Thanks @koji - I've added this to the website design project board https://github.com/ml5js/ml5-library/projects/6 in the ml5-library repo where many of the ongoing works are being planned for in a more organized way.

If you would like to make a PR to do a proof of concept, I'd highly welcome that but I know this is a big undertaking so no pressure!

Maybe @wenqili also has some thoughts about ways we might get started?

Joey Lee!!! 🙌

@lukeed !!!! I was so excited when I saw you post on Twitter and thought, "holy cow, that's Luke!" Rosetta is such a cool library, I'm looking forward to checking it out soon!

[lukeed]

I just cracked up while making the same discovery here. Small world? 😅

Looking forward to checking out what you're doing here. Only a quick glance so far and it looks awesome 💪

[joeyklee]

@lukeed - Super small, but such a nice internet moment. You can see some of the projects people have made with ml5.js here https://ml5js.org/community

Hey guys, sorry to be late for the party lool.
There going to be a newly designed site soon right? Maybe we can incorporate i18n in the roadmap? @joeyklee
