Hello,
I've seen that you added the following string on Transifex to the
"website" project
"_"Die Einrichtung von Delta Chat könnte kaum einfacher sein [...]"_
could you please add a note with the english translation so it's easier
for the translators? I've used a online translator that returned this:
"Setting up Delta Chat couldn't be easier". Is it correct?
Thanks,
Enrico

You might like to keep that unchanged, if it's a quote from an
(linked) article in German.

Yes, I've thought about this option, but I'm not sure it's a good idea
IMHO. I could keep it in the original language if it is in French or
Spanish which are quite understandable in Italian (the language I'm
translating) or known, but in German it would be not readable for too
many people and the sentence will be not so useful to promote Delta Chat.
In my opinion it would be better to translate it and keep the link to
the original blog post.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Enrico

Hello world ;)
I agree with besnik,
IMHO it doesn't makes sense to translate it, I am the Spanish translator and I
hadn't translate them, only translating a descriptive text saying "(German
article)" or something like that should be enough since the articles are in German
anyway.

Thanks for your reply. I won't translate it to be coherent with other
translations, but don't you think that this german sentence will be
useless for a spanish reader? He will not get anything from a
non-understandable sentence.
Thanks,

hello, they may be useful, but it is more work for translators, can drive to wrong
translations, and users may expect the articles to be in their language, if they will use
google translate to read the article thay will had the title translated anyway, so my
opinion is that it isn't worthy and can lead to other troubles, so we are not solving
any trouble just replacing one for another ;)
anyway, this is just my advice, I am not against this,
nice weekend,
