Just did some testing, this looks nice! I think for testing we can do Mandarin (@zjpoh offered to help) or Hindi if you want to do that @Shekharrajak. I think Dutch was good to try the interface, but we don't really need/want a Dutch translation - Dutch people are perfectly happy with English usually.

[Shekharrajak]

Yeah! I will try to do that.

Related gh-329 for Korean translation.

I think we're good to go on this, the content is stable and everything seems to work. I'll re-enable the language selector as well.

@zjpoh would you still be interested to work on the Chinese translation?

I've added a wiki page at https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Translations-of-the-NumPy-website on how to get started.

Re-enabling the dropdown is a matter of undoing the small patch in gh-171

I would like to participate on the Spanish translation. Is there any way I can start? I feel kind of lost here. Sorry

[rgommers]

That's great, thanks @rubentl134! Spanish is already enabled on Crowdin, so to get started see the instructions at https://github.com/numpy/numpy/wiki/Translations-of-the-NumPy-website. Basically, sign up for Crowdin via the link there, select Spanish, and start:)

If you have any issues, please let us know.

Can you use Weblate instead, so I can contribute without getting spied on, leak info, and also contribute to their closed translation memory? You need a license to be able to use the translations btw. :)

We have spent significant time setting up Crowdin, after good experiences Spyder had with it. And the Crowdin team has been quite helpful, so I see no reason to switch.

I don't know what you mean by that.
