The map you posted…that is a year of travel? You don’t get out much do you? LOL J/K If you were to track my travels, it’d be confined to 22 acres. I don’t get out much either. :)
- 1,191 Stars on GitHub. - 404 Commits to main with 311 PRs merged. - 250 Issues closed. - 9 Languages supported.
The project looks great tho, and congratulations on the success of your app. I’ve often wondered where independent devs get their multiple languages from. 9 languages supported is pretty huge. Do you have people contribute translations, or is there a more structured avenues?

😆 yeah, that would not be that much for a year. Be assured, I get out alot besides the job and working on reitti.
The project is translated using weblate. I started with english (like every developer) and german (which is my main language). One of the LLM then started with finish and french. I do not speak either of these so could not estimate how good this was. French is already re-translated completely by two fellow users using weblate. All other languages where also added there.
It is a good tool but has some quirks when merging is involved. But I could not find anything better. Sometimes I also use it to enhance german, and it is working fine.

Awesome! In my younger days traveling, I picked up a few languages enough to get by, but that was decades ago and if you don’t use them you loose them. At one time I spoke patois fairly fluently which you would most likely hear in Jamaica or the Dominican Republic.

Time to level that up and add patois (never heard of it) to reitti 😀 But it is alot of work in keeping the translations aligned to new features and I am overly thankful for anyone who does this.
As I was younger, I could get away with Bulgarian but as you said. If you do not use it, you loose it.

I will see what I can do for the Finnish translation. Already found it on weblate.
