Proof of Concept - Translate docs.cardano.org

Click to see a sample Plutus page translated on-the-fly:

Hindi Sample Page (unstyled)

Japanese Sample Page (unstyled)

Telugu Sample Page (unstyled)

English Sample Page (unstyled)

English (IOHK original)

You can change the language as needed:

What Is This Page About:

Currently https://docs.cardano.org (and others) do not work within Google Translate (links get dropped, so it reverts back to English or fails to load).

I can make a static docs site that will work with Google Translate, allowing 110 language translations.

Just need to take the markdown and other files from github, parse it and save the HTML,then serve these pages via a 'docs' URL. Google Translate works ok with these pages and the links work allowing users to stay within their language of choice.
These steps can be easily automated to keep the site updated with the latest documentation changes on githubs.

The proper solution is for IOHK/IOG to correct things on the official documentation sites. I had a quick look at the gatsbyjs code but it wasn't obvious to me how to fix this.
The above steps are quick and easy to implement giving immediate access to users, with the downside being that this is a secondry URL for documentation.

Once the official docs sites get updated to work with Google Translate then this site can be retired/redirected.

To Do:

• CSS grids and styling
• Menu/Table of contents
• Special MD/MDX conditions that are not parsed correctly eg titles
• Check the 'No Translate' parts are working for code samples
• Make site responsive for tablets/phones?
• Get some community testers
• Fully automate getting docs from github and parsing with HTML output - hand off
