Google Translate and Contao Dev on Github

[ramjet]

Google Translate won't work on the Contao Dev Github thingy. (it doesn't recognise the urls).
This makes it only possible to read German tickets via cut/paste.
Does anyone know a translate tool that will?

What about a Google Translate Add-On? I guess you're either using Firefox or Chrome; there should be extensions to both of them.

We need some way to remind the ones creating issues in German to use English. At least you can email some of them asking for a translation / summary of what is being discussed in the issue (the translation / summary should then be added to the original post, to provide at least a hint for international users), as well as asking them to use English in further tickets.

Can't we agree to all speak English when posting bugs? I understand that Contao is German based, but the language understood by most Contao users would be English. It isn't my native language either (neither is German). At the very least anyone would have to describe the ticket in English if he or she wishes to report in another language then English.

When searching for existing bug reports or feature requests it often happens a ticket was posted in German for the same issue. But I didn't find it because I can't search for German words I don't know...

Just a thought...

That would be good, but I'm sure there are a lot of people not comfortable with English too.
Taka has advised me that google Translate for Chrome extension works for him, so I'll give that a go.

ramjet, if you are a Windows user than you can try TranslateClient. One minus is that in Free version it uses Microsoft Translator.

Funny, so to give it less value it uses a Microsoft translator? I haven't used the MS translator yet, is it that much inferior, or is this just something we simply assume?
