[GUIDE] How to create and publish "language packs"

[Lailloken]

Community translations will not be officially implemented into the project because I personally can't really provide any valuable input for maintaining or testing them (i.e. I would probably just slow things down). Instead, they will be separate projects led by however many people want to contribute to making the tool usable in their language.

The required files will be mirror-hosted on a different GitHub repository in order to facilitate tracking their changes. These serve as a template to create new "language packs" for the desired target languages. On that repository, there will also be detailed instructions which should be helpful with starting such a project.

It's a good idea to advertise/announce your plans in a new thread in the Translations / Localization section in order to prevent multiple smaller projects from emerging, working towards the same goal independently. It would be more efficient if people grouped up and worked together, and it would also help me stay up-to-date (so I can make sure the required files are in good shape).

Publication

I kindly ask you to not publish them as part of a fork of the main project. Simply host your language-files on your own GitHub repository.
