Add translatewiki link

[3333nischay]

Ticket: T241500

Query: The footer of SVG Translate includes useful links but lacks a direct link to Translatewiki making it difficult for users to find and contribute translations. Adding this link would improve accessibility and streamline the translation process.

This PR enhances the footer of SVG Translate by adding a direct link to Translatewiki, making it easier for users to contribute translations and support the tool.

Changes Made:

1. Added a new translation key:

   • Introduced "translatewiki": "Translate on Translatewiki" to the all the language files available in i18n directory in the respective languages.
   • Added corresponding translations in multiple language files to encourage users to help translate the tool.

2. Updated the footer template:

   • Modified templates/base.html.twig to include the Translatewiki link:

     <li><a href="https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate/svgtranslate?group=svgtranslate&language=en&filter=%21translated&action=translate">{{ msg('translatewiki') }}</a></li>
     

This update improves accessibility and streamlines the translation process for contributors.

Thanks for this!

How did you create the translations for all the different languages? If you speak all these then that's fine, but if you used machine translation then I'm sorry to say that it's going to be best to remove them.

When adding new messages to a project, we only have to add them to the en.json and qqq.json files, and translatewiki.net will do the rest for us. They have built-in machine translation and other suggestion systems that make it quick and easy for translators there to add the missing languages, so it's actually better for us to not do them.

This URL should probably just be https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate/svgtranslate, so that the user's own settings are used for the target language (i.e. setting language=en just results in a warning because it's the same as the base language).

[samwilson]

I think a shorter message might be good, e.g. "Translate on translatewiki.net", so it doesn't take up too much space:

Note also that normal way that translatewiki.net is written is like that, all lowercase and with the ".net".

[3333nischay]

Sure will do the changes. Thanks for attention.

Removed the translatewiki message form all the language files except en.json and qqq.json. Changed the message to "translatewiki": "Translate this tool" and changed the link address to translatewiki.net.

[samwilson]

Thanks!

It looks like you've still got translations for anp, ar, as, ast, az, and da, as well as introducing some blank lines for other langs.

[samwilson]

These are the instructions for translators, who can already see the "Translate this tool" base text. It's good to explain how the text is to be used (i.e. that it's a link).

[3333nischay]

removed the translations form anp, ar, as, ast, az, and da and extra blank lines. Also explained the tool in qqq.json as "translatewiki": "This is a link for the translate tool (translatewiki.net). Displayed in the footer on every page."

[samwilson]

Looks good, thanks!

You have removed the trailing newlines on all the translation files, but that doesn't matter too much. Let's merge this!
