This is a very good project. Since Outlook UWP was discontinued, I have been looking for a lightweight email client.

It seems that currently only English is supported. Are there any plans to add multiple languages? If needed, I can provide Chinese translation support for the project.

Thank you! I'm really glad you like the project and its direction.

Yes, localization is already supported. Spanish is currently included, and the translation system is set up so we can add more languages without changing the application architecture.

I'd really like translations to be high quality, so this is one area I'd love to leave largely to native speakers in the community rather than relying on machine translation. I've contributed translations to open-source projects myself, so I'd like Flectar Mail to work the same way.

Chinese would be very welcome, and I'd be happy to have your help with it!

Thanks! I'd be happy to help with the Chinese translation.

Could you point me to how I should get started? A few things I'd like to know:

• Is there a translation guide or contributing doc for translators?

• Where are the translation files, or do you use a platform like Crowdin/Weblate?

• Should I open an issue first, or submit a PR directly?

• Are there any style/terminology guidelines or a glossary I should follow?

• Is there a small part I can start with to get familiar with the workflow?

Just to set expectations: I can only contribute in my spare time, so I may not be able to keep a fixed schedule, but I'm happy to help incrementally.

Thanks!

I'm interested in this aswell, I could provide a german translation!
