Description

Guidelines

  • I have searched the issue tracker for open and closed issues that are similar to the feature request I want to file, without success.
  • I have searched the documentation for information that matches the description of the feature request I want to file, without success.
  • This issue contains only one feature request.

Problem Description

FT is used by many across the globe and every one of them is using FT in their own language, but when they come to our repo they can only view the README.md in English. This makes the application very accessible, but our repo not.

Proposed Solution

Translating the README.md can be done in a few ways:

  1. Through Weblate
  2. Through a PR

Research direction
Check the project's existing localization setup (likely uses Weblate). If so, add the README as a translatable resource in Weblate. Otherwise, create a translated copy of README.md (e.g., README.zh.md for Chinese) following the same formatting, and submit a pull request. Review CONTRIBUTING.md for any translation guidelines.
