[Feature] More language support for the website

[milotype]

Current situation
The DataBackup website transaltes currently only in English and Simplified Chinese.
(And I don't know where the content of the website is being hosted.)

Describe the feature
The DataBackup website should translate into other languages.
(Ideally it should also automatically recognize the browser's language or the users OS language setting, so users would automatically see the website in their own language, without the need to switch the language in the language menu.)

Solution suggestion

1. Reuse strings for the DataBackup website which exist in translation files and can be translated at Hosted Weblate.
2. Add new strings which don't exist in any translation file and can't be translated at Hosted Weblate.

Plese review the lists:

1. Strings which exist in a translation file:
DataBackup - (app/src/main/res/values-hr/strings.xml)
Home - (source-next/app/src/main/res/values-hr/strings.xml)
Language - (source-next/app/src/main/res/values-hr/strings.xml)
Free and open-source data backup application - ( source-next/app/src/main/res/values-hr/strings.xml)
Get Started - (source-next/app/src/main/res/values-hr/strings.xml)
GitHub - (as read-only) at (source-next/app/src/main/res/values-hr/strings.xml)
Root - (as read-only) at (source-next/app/src/main/res/values-hr/strings.xml)
Cloud - (source-next/app/src/main/res/values-hr/strings.xml)

2. Strings which don't exist in any translation file:
Support WebDAV, FTP, SMB.
Support Magisk, KernelSU, APatch.
Multi-user Support
You can backup/restore any applactions from/to any users.

After the impementation of reusing/adding new strings for the website, add the languages in their original name which you feel have a good percentage ot translation of the app and of the website at Hosted Weblate into the Language dropdown menu of the website. Here is a quick mockup of my idea.

At the bottom of the list, you could add a separator line and add "Translate" with a link to https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/databackup/, which potentially will increase the translations of foreign languages by users. (In case you implement this suggestion for the language menu, you'll have to add the string Translate into a translation file.)

P.S.
I'm a translator, not a programmer, so I don't know if my suggestion can be implemented. 🤞

Thanks for the suggestion! The current documentation is primarily for version 2.x, which is now virtually reaching its end-of-life. As a result, we have stopped updating its content.

Our current plan is to release version 3.0 first, then build comprehensive English documentation, and eventually open it up for community translation.

The doc repo can be found at: https://github.com/DataBackupOfficial/DataBackupOfficial.github.io

Ideally it should also automatically recognize the browser's language or the users OS language setting, so users would automatically see the website in their own language, without the need to switch the language in the language menu.

As for this, it sounds good, we will look into it after the release!

And we'll explore how to integrate the doc translation with Weblate

@XayahSuSuSu Just to make clear my issue isn't about the documentation, but about the translations of the homepage itself, the language dropdown menu and missing strings in order to translate the website.

@XayahSuSuSu BTW, do you think it's necessary to move to or reference this issue at https://github.com/DataBackupOfficial/DataBackupOfficial.github.io/issues?

Sry for the late reply, this issue cannot be transferred to another org somehow, so we can just talk here

Now we've implemented this feature, but we still need to maintain this file and this manually to add new lang here

And I added this repo on weblate, now this doc is translatable: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/databackup/#components
