Adding a new language is cumbersome

[ntd]

I'm not really fond of transifex, so I'm possibly doing something terribly wrong on my side.

I usually add italian translations to SilverStripe modules via transifex without (much) prolems. With silverstripe-fluent though I met the following issue:

1. there is no italian translation and I cannot create a new one, so I had to Request language;
2. I'm part of the SilverStripe team (whatever this means) but silverstripe-fluent is not part of that team (it seems to be part of the silverstripe-fluent team);
3. to join the silverstripe-fluent team I need to specify a language, and I still cannot join it until (1) is resolved.
   This seems to put a barrier to new contributions, objectively a light one but still a barrier. If this is by design, fill free to close this issue as WONTFIX.

hi @ntd ,

I'm going to let anyone who feels like it add their localisations directly to the module. :) I can take responsibility for syncing these up with the transifex source if that helps you out.

If you think this is a good idea, I'll add a contributing localisations note to the readme.md.

I'm going to let anyone who feels like it add their localisations directly to the module.

Do you mean by accepting PR? I thought this could be solved by just flipping a couple of switches on the transifex admin panel (just speculating: I never seen it) but of course also accepting PR will make this issue vanish instantly.

In my specific case, just let me know if I can make a PR or if you prefer the transifex approach, in which case you should do something on your side because I still don't see the italian language :)

2\. I'm part of the `SilverStripe` team (whatever this means) but `silverstripe-fluent` is not part of that team (it seems to be part of the `silverstripe-fluent` team);

Disregard this part: although I can translate almost all SilverStripe modules without issues, there are some (e.g. silvestripe-asset-admin) that behave like silverstripe-fluent, i.e. I cannot translate them until I "join the team". Likely in that case, the italian language is present so I can apply.

Sorry about all of these issues; SilverStripe actually control this account (who I am a member of still) so you are able to reach out to anyone there as well if you need help with permissions. :)

I've approved all the requests I saw and invited you to the project @ntd

Thank you @robbieaverill, now everything seems to be working properly on transifex.

@tractorcow many thanks for your support: I will use transifex from now on. I think this issue is still present for new locales but feel free to close it as actually this is a pure virtual problem ;)

Closing as this seems to have been resolved.
