Future support for translations of site to other languages about cdevents.dev HOT 2 OPEN

How common is it nowadays that these kinds of websites have support for multiple languages? And what languages would then be the most common ones? I believe some such existing multi-language websites have a different initial language than English and then English translation is added to reach a wider audience, which is not the case for CDEvents.

I currently don't see that we should spend time on translating this info to any other language. It might be interesting if we sometime foresee an increase in CDEvents adopters in some region where English is not commonly understood.

I see a risk that this issue will not be resolved anytime soon. Should we instead document the description from this issue in e.g. a CONTRIBUTING.md document in this repo and then close this issue for now?

If the intent is to establish an international standard, diversity is particularly important, in order to identify localisation challenges that may sit outside the experience of contributors from some regions. Similarly, adoption of a standard can be rapid in highly active tech regions like India and China, if there is localised documentation available to simplify the process.

The CDF has a SIG dedicated to supporting this process: https://github.com/cdfoundation/sig-chinese-localization
