Translations of firejail

It would be nice to localize firejail (man pages and all messages) into different languages. I presume a bunch of reorganization will have to take place to make it possible/feasible though.

As an added bonus, it would give a non-coding way for people to contribute :)

We have already one, you can find it in etc/ :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

IMHO the manpage translation is more important and lesser reorganization.

@rusty-snake I feel personally called out 😝
Hey, if only firejail had been written in python...

If this would involve a translation platform, I'd recommend Weblate, which is
basically GitHub for translation. It's fully FLOSS (client and server) and
also hosting on the main instance is free for FLOSS projects:

• Home page: https://weblate.org/en/
• All projects: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/

Examples of desktop programs using it:

• Debian Installer: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/debian-installer/
• GNU Cash: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/gnucash/
• KeePassXC: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/keepassxc/
