Add Dutch Translations

[brminnick]

GitTrends provides i18n using RESX.

More information on using RESX with Xamarin.Forms can be found here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/xamarin/xamarin-forms/app-fundamentals/localization/text

All of the .resx files can be found in the GitTrends.Mobile.Common.Constants folder:

I doubt if many of the Dutch speaking devs using GitHub would prefer / value a Dutch translation? In my experience, Dutch devs don't mind - or even prefer - to use software in English.

It is just annoying when you need to google stuff and you have to guess what the English term in your Dutch software was (cough Windows).

Also:

• GitHub content is mostly English - even the GitHub repo's of the Dutch Language Institute
• GitHub had translations including Dutch in 2010, but stopped supporting other languages than English in 2016. Talk about Git Trends...😉

It may be different for other cultures. The Dutch are very English minded.

Thanks Vincent!

I'll leave the issue open for sake of posterity, but I'll remove it from the v1.2.0 Milestone.

While I understand Vincent's sentiment, I don't see why we shouldn't provide the users with a choice. I'm willing and able to take this one!

[brminnick]

Sounds good, Gerald 👍

I’ll also add a language picker to the Settings page to allow users to select a language other than the default.

I think AppStoreRatingRequestConstants.resx is missing from the above list, right?

[brminnick]

Good catch - I'll add it to the ToDo list now 🙌
