[FEATURE] Add Support for Multiple Language Translations to the Conference Website

Why do we need this improvement?

To make the AsyncAPI conference website more inclusive and accessible to a global audience, we propose introducing support for multiple language translations. This feature would allow users from various linguistic backgrounds to easily navigate and engage with the website content. By providing a multilingual experience, we can break down language barriers and create a more welcoming environment for attendees and visitors from diverse linguistic backgrounds. This improvement is crucial in today's globalized world, where people from different countries and cultures interact with each other online.

How will this change help?

The introduction of multiple language translations will have a significant impact on the AsyncAPI conference website. Some of the benefits include:

  • Improving the accessibility of the website: By making it available to a broader audience, including non-English speakers, we can increase the reach and impact of the conference.
  • Enhancing the user experience: Attendees and visitors from diverse linguistic backgrounds will be able to navigate the website in their preferred language, making it easier for them to engage with the content.
  • Promoting inclusivity and global engagement: By allowing users to navigate the website in their preferred language, we can create a more inclusive environment that encourages global engagement and participation.
  • Increasing the reach and impact of the conference: By catering to a more international audience, we can increase the reach and impact of the conference, making it a more significant event in the industry.
  • Streamlining and encouraging community contributions: By providing a platform for community members to contribute translations, we can streamline the process and encourage more people to get involved.

Screenshots

Unfortunately, we do not have any screenshots to share at this time. However, we can provide some examples of how the language selection dropdown and translation files could be implemented.

How could it be implemented/designed?

To implement multiple language translations, we can follow these steps:

1. Language Selection Dropdown

Add a dropdown menu on the website (e.g., in the header or footer) to allow users to select their preferred language. This dropdown menu should be easily accessible and visible on all pages of the website. We can use a library like Select2 to create a customizable dropdown menu.

2. Translation Files

Store translations in JSON or YAML files, organized by language codes (e.g., en.json, es.json, fr.json, etc.). These files should be easily maintainable and updateable by community members. We can use a library like i18next to manage the translation files.

3. Dynamic Content Loading

Use a JavaScript library or framework (e.g., i18next or react-i18next) to dynamically load and display content based on the selected language. This will ensure that the content is displayed correctly in the user's preferred language. We can use a library like react-i18next to handle the dynamic content loading.

4. Default Language

Set English as the default language, with the ability to detect the user's browser language for auto-selection. This will ensure that users who do not select a language are still able to view the website in their preferred language. We can use a library like i18next to detect the user's browser language### 🚧 Breaking changes
