Hey guys, translate the project it's a good idea! Did you already think about a language selector? If you want, I'm able to help.

Not yet, what do you proposes?

I was thinking in a simple drop-down on top of the page. Could be clean and useful, following the visual identity of project. What do you think?

I liked, I was studying the case and I found this dropdown on codepen.io:

It's a good dropdown, would be interesting if it had a flag of the country as well, isn't?

It's funny... you posted a drop-down using just CSS, and this project is just about JS. But I agree with you. If CSS can do the work by itself, why not?

And yes, I was thinking to put flags too. In this case, we will need to have flag images. There are many kits of flag-icons available for free. We will need to choose one to maintain uniformity.
What about if a make a test and send it to you as PR?

It is awesome drop-down using just css. 👍

Answer 6 · 2015-07-11T02:23:22.000Z

Well done, we need to decide what kind of flag to use. What if we put here the options and then, make the decision together?

I found an open-source project with svg icons, flatten designed, tested and with sass/less support ready: flag-icon-css project

I liked, lets see what the soldiers think.

I made some tests and implemented locally this dropdown:

Do you like it? I accept suggestions.

Answer 10 · 2015-07-13T02:56:24.000Z

Yes, it's good, but what if you put this below of the 'the right way' element, centered? What do you think? Is it more visible?

Answer 11 · 2015-07-15T16:29:23.000Z

Hi man, I'll merge i18n with master next weekend, can you commit your changes and make a PR?

Answer 12 · 2015-07-15T16:52:22.000Z

Yes, I can. I'm gonna do this ASAP.

Answer 13 · 2015-07-15T21:27:23.000Z

Thanks! ⚡

Answer 14 · 2015-08-18T02:22:53.000Z

I do not agree with the flags, flags represent countries, not languages. Although it may be a visual clue, it is much better to use the language name only

Answer 15 · 2015-08-18T06:34:52.000Z

I do agree with @unluisco too.

Answer 16 · 2015-08-18T17:27:24.000Z

Hi Soldiers, well, I agree with @unluisco too, so, let's only keep the languages names.
Is it good for you @gabrielfurini?

Answer 17 · 2015-08-19T09:45:27.000Z

It really makes sense. But there's a change to be done on mobile version: just the flags are visible.
