A quotation from Hannah Arendt

Totalitarianism is never content to rule by external means, namely, through the state and a machinery of violence; thanks to its peculiar ideology and the role assigned to it in this apparatus of coercion, totalitarianism has discovered a means of dominating and terrorizing human beings from within.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
The Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 10 “A Classless Society,” sec. 1 (1951)

I’ve been learning how to do #internalization in #django for one of my projects, and it’s been pretty painless. It’s nice how Django includes a #javascript library and automatically pulls translation strings from scripts as well.

So far I’m not worrying about right to left languages or anything yet, just getting everything working as a cursory base with some other left to right languages. Next I need to work on date and time formats and then I’ll be about finished!

Folks who run WordPress sites, how do you all handle content translations?

I installed https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/ and it seems pretty good and straightforward.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/weglot/ also looks interesting.

Ideally I'd like to set up a workflow that doesn't require volunteers who provide the translation (just a single page) to create a WordPress account.

Polylang

Go multilingual in a simple and efficient way. Keep writing posts and taxonomy terms as usual while defining their languages all at once.
