If there are other language document plan?

Chinese？

[yangyingwx]

wow! I expect Chinese document so much!

[asturur]

We do not have translatable docs.
Do you know some system that allow for that?
I tried to rework the website under https://docusaurus.io/ but it requires time that i do not have.

[BigFaceMaster]

I just used: https://www.docz.site/,
If you want to recreate the website, if you need help, I can do my best to help you, and I also hope to provide a multi-language environment. When I use the fabricjs document, I find that the Chinese document is missing, and it is not friendly enough and brief.

[asturur]

I definitely want to redo fabricJS website.
Can look in any way as long as looks modern like any other js library.

Requirements are:

• can be published with githubpages
• there is a patter to import / rewrite easily the current documentation
• there is space fore the current small advertisement
• can take docs from fabricjs JSDOCS.

Plus:

• it supports embedded snippets
• it supports multi language docs with some kind of translations system, eventually community based.
• better based on MD files than HTML

[BigFaceMaster]

Awesome, it's sounds great. MD is very friendly to developers.

[BigFaceMaster]

so, what's your plan? Could you give me some your ideas? I wanna join this job.

[BigFaceMaster]

1. New website
2. Multi-language, English, Chinese(I'm Chinese, So I can translate and refactoring is, making it better for us)

[asturur]

The idea is getting a prototype up in a branch or in another repo. Just to see how the tech stack looks like. It has to be managed with github or i simply cannot do it. The default theme that any document platform offer could be ok.

[BigFaceMaster]

It's a good idea. Have you started doing something? or starting it from 0? I wanna know more information about this, you can send mail to me([email protected]) or other, and we make a plan and start doing it.

[BigFaceMaster]

By the way, I am good at react.

You can make a PR to this repository here:

https://github.com/fabricjs/fabricjs.github.io

You first clone it, you make a branch, you make an initial setup with a proof of concept of a single page ( take any existing documentation page ).

In this POC there should be an header, a footer, and the central page.

Take care that github i think prefers static generated sites, so as our website currently work, it starts from MD files, but then it creates plain html and just serves that.

Alternatively you can find a translation system that work with our current website, a plugin for jekyll.
Something that allow us to have a place to submit a page for translation and something that allow the user to move from a language to another.

Experiments can be visualized here once merged:
https://fabricjs.github.io/

Any improvement to docs and website is highly appreciated.

[BigFaceMaster]

Ok, got it. let's me think twice
