Translatable Emails

[kolaente]

It would be nice if Gitea could have translatable emails.

What do you think would be the best approach to this? Simply putting all emails as strings in the translation files?

[lunny]

Put the english email as a new file on crowdin and write some scripts or drone plugin to keep sync.

[kolaente]

You mean a sepereate file for every email?

[lunny]

No. A single file for every language.

[kolaente]

Do you think we'll need a new file or would it be ok to put this in the existing locale file(s)? (under a new section ofc)

[lafriks]

Could we instead use https://github.com/matcornic/hermes for email templates?

[kolaente]

@lafriks looks great, I like it! But we still need a way to store the translated strings somewhere.

[lafriks]

If you use this lib we could use same locale file as now for ui

[kolaente]

I've created another issue for HTML emails as thats probably something we should integrate seperately and put in the translations after the fact: #3892
