Hi there,
I could contribute a german translation of the p5-web UI, if you like?
I was not sure if this is maybe already in the making, so thats why I'm not starting right away.
Cheers
Tom

Hi @tlsaeger! There isn't a German translation and it would be great to have one. Take a look at the translation documentation to get started!

[tlsaeger]

Hi @catarak thank you! Unfortunately I cannot get the dropdown to show. I've followed the installation guide as well as the translation documentation. I added TRANSLATIONS_ENABLED=true to .env but it still does not show up. Everything else is running perfectly.
Thanks for your help!

@tlsaeger that's super strange! Can you open the browser console and see if you notice anything? If the app is working okay, one thing is that it could be a typo in .env.

[tlsaeger]

@catarak Ran the program to check if something is in the console. Did not change anything, now it works. Thanks for your help!

[catarak]

@tlsaeger glad you figured it out! my guess is that you had added the variable to .env but you hadn't restarted the server, as of right now the server doesn't get automatically restarted for .env changes (and maybe it should!)

@catarak I sent a PR. Thanks again for your support.

I looked over the translation in the PR (@tlsaeger asked for this) and wrote some suggestions. I'll link them here; I hope the format is ok and that this is useful. https://gist.github.com/binomial0/29b78bdaf81ff4399c36edced2ea30ad

[tlsaeger]

To add a little context I asked if someone would help me with proof reading here: Twitter and in the processing forum.
@binomial0 was so kind to offer first suggestions which i will add in the coming days.

[tlsaeger]

I incorporated the changes suggested by @binomial0 thanks again for your support. @catarak from my side the PR is ready to be merged.

@tlsaeger great, thank you!
