PelicanTools is now available in Portuguese
All site tools, faqs, navigation and SEO pages has been completely translated to Portuguese, located at /pt.
Portuguese is the sixth most widely spoken language in the world, and, it turns out, the most requested language on PelicanTools. Through examining usage data, it can be seen that nearly 15% of all requests were from speakers of Portuguese – the largest minority language yet not previously featured.
So we shipped it.
What changed
Each page of the site is provided with a Portuguese translation, under the path prefix /pt/:
That covers tool descriptions, step by step instructions, faqs, trust copy, seo, navigation, footer, and all string modifications that are shared. As a last resort, no English was left.
The technology used in the language detection
If the Portuguese language is the one that your browser has as the default language, you will be redirected automatically to the Portuguese path: /pt/. You can access it at any time, as well.
The underlying transcript tool remains as is, and continues to support 70+ YouTube caption language codes, so that you can create transcriptions in Portuguese or any other language, no matter what locale the site is being displayed in.
It's going to be a lot more languages in the future.
