Other Languages?

chilly

Hello,

I've discovered this site/app today and I am blown away, I've always dreamed of pretty much exactly this, an app where I put in what I ate and which tells me then green or red.

But none of the people I showed this app know English well enough to use it, are there any plans to translate the app to German or Polish?

Keep up the good work, very useful

Hi Chilly and welcome to Cronometer!

We don't have the support to translate the app at this time, but this would be a great way to make Cronometer accessible to non-English speakers.

Cheers,

Freeborn

What kind of support do you need to start translation? I really love your App and I can help with translation to Russian.

Hi Freeborn,

In order to keep the app up to date in other languages we would need staff capable of verifying product information and translating the app to those languages. It would be a great idea to get our users involved to help us verify tranlsations - that could help us go down that road more quickly.

Best,

Flamia

I'd like also Italian! Having multi language would make this awesome app become fabulous!

I see that Italiano, and even Język Polski have already been added (by the way, why Język Polski, but not just Polski, as others?:)

If you have plans to add Russian as well, here is a good starting point for a person who would make USDA database translation.

These sites have translated USDA names to Russian:

• http://www.intelmeal.ru/nutrition/food_category.php
• https://calorizator.ru/product

By the way, these 2 sites have nutrition data from local databases as well, most notably — Химический состав Российских продуктов питания, под редакцией член-корр. МАИ, проф. И. М. Скурихина и академика РАМН, проф. В. А. Тутельяна.

I have written a simple script to collect nutrition data from intelmeal.ru into a single spreadsheet, the Google Sheet and built-in Google Apps Script are available here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nAd-g5CJ-q5cCwosMWa5Ov70UTCeZQxN3PZXf179dGA/copy

It also has Cronometer JSON tab to quickly get JSON for any food entry.

Feel free to use it if it would be of any help to you.

Thanks for the great resources Maxim!
