[META] Showcase Drupal's Multilingual Capabilities by implementing Umami in a 3rd language + RTL (Arabic)

Good job guys. Keep it up.

While I'm working to prepare these issues for the sprint, I just noticed there are two duplicate issues:

#3047950: Umami Article Arabic Translation: Give your oatmeal the ultimate makeover
#3047951: Umami Article Arabic Translation: Give your oatmeal the ultimate makeover

I'm contribution to the Arabic Language
أنا أساهم في ترجمة اللغة العربية

Hi Folks,

This looks like a really good idea, but we do have to be aware that Umami maintainers will decide if a new language is going to be accepted or not based on some criteria, such as we need to make sure we have people who will maintain the translations, not just do a once-off translation and not update the content afterwards if it is needed.

I agree that we should have support for an RTL language since we are supporting RTL in our CSS. I have no problem with that language being Arabic - I'll let other maintainers give their opinion on what language in their own time.

In the mean time, let's create a special issue tag for this to keep them all together. OOTB Arabic. I'll add it to this and the related issues.

Thanks very much for working on this with us.

We've discussed this on Slack in the past, and for now the best way to work on the content translation itself is keeping it in Google Docs.
Thank you for the amazing work you do!

The last decision regarding multilingual in Umami was to avoid adding more languages since it proved difficult to maintain. Instead, the solution would be improving potx module, which already provides all interface string translations to any language.

Once #3048283: Read content from Drupal 8 core's demo_umami feature will be added, #3048295: [PP-1] Install Umami in any language (import content from https://localize.drupal.org) can be completed, that allows Umami to support any language in a sustainable way.

Thanks @shaal

I must have missed that discussion when I took some time out recently.

Moving the translations to localize.drupal.org seems like a really clever way of doing this in a sustainable manner. Great idea.

We've discussed this on OOTB weekly meeting and for now the best way to work on the content translation itself is keeping it in Google Docs.
