The thing is WebCord's localization is quite non-standard since English strings are put directly inside source code of the application to actually fetch a type from them. Other thing is language codes as well, they don't seem to be ISO codes according to the Electron's documentation and are strictly dependent from Chromium's l10n code. So, I am aware that even if I would setup a Weblate project for it, it would generate a files/language codes WebCord couldn't correctly understand and just not load. |

I wondered if Weblate had been considered for localising the app. At the moment, JSON files are used, and are not particularly user friendly to edit.
Any thoughts?
