Jenkins Localization Separation discuss

[Rick]

Hi folk:

Once we done with separate localization resource files, the end user will get a pure English version of Jenkins and plugins. This proposal has some benefits, e.g. more native language people could join the process of localization. But there is no need to give many people the commit permission. But there are some issues we need to consider.

First, it's not very friendly for someone is not familiar with English. Maybe a lot of people even don't know the exists of the language plugin(e.g. https://github.com/jenkinsci/localization-zh-cn-plugin).

My proposal is here. Add a setting option in System Configuration of Jenkins core. This option allows users to choose their language. I think it's a common way to do this job like other many software.

Another idea is that put the localization plugin into suggestion list. So we could detect browse user-agent setting then give the end users a friendly suggestion. I create a PR to implements the idea. Any opinion is welcomed. https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/3626

Thanks in advance

I like the setting options for language, this is appreciable for us. Changing the language easily benefits comparing different version documentation when getting confusing at reading.

As far as I know this is how locale is normally taken into account in
Jenkins, so this proposal makes sense to me.

I am fine with the proposed approach.

There are some edge cases, but it should work well.

At some point we could add "Localizations" page to the installation Wizard, if there are many such plugins created.

Yes, once we get more localization plugins then add such page.
