Hi Skyline team and I18n contributors,

First, Skyline team, thank you for considering skyline with i18n!

As Seongsoo started to talk via skyline IRC channel [1], I see that
there are some needs for more language support for the Skyline
project. Let me elaborate through the following questions as current
I18n SIG lead:

1. Skyline team: While I believe you are welcome to contribute to
other languages by adding per-language json files like [2], is it okay
to contribute Korean language through Korea User Group members? Me
and/or Seongsoo would like to happily step up as reviewers to
guarantee sufficient language quality.

2. Any translation interests from other I18n language teams? Feel free
to tell me or reply to this thread.

3. While number 1 would be a short-term approach to add Korean
language support, to support more international languages, I want to
suggest integrating with react-intl if skyline is using react (from my
brief investigation, it is yes through [3]), since react-intl support
to convert json <-> pot which functionality was previously used by
tripleo-ui for i18n support [4]. Although I18n SIG is trying to
migrate from Zanata to Weblate, a new translation platform [5], pot
support would be essential for standardizing i18n and the translation
process.


With many thanks,

/Ian
