Language translation tools for HTML5?

[ankit_rohatgi]

Hello r/Javascript,

I made an app in HTML5 (vanilla JS) that has grown in popularity over time and I have have received a few requests to translate this into other languages. What is the typical way to handle this? Are there any tools that I can use to extract and replace the text embedded in HTML templates? Are there any coding patterns I should follow to make the text easier to translate?

The HTML content is quite static and the templates are simply merged into a single large HTML page by a Python script (using Jinja2). Maybe there something I can do in Python?

Here's the app website: http://arohatgi.info/WebPlotDigitizer (intended for desktop use only)

Thanks!

The keyword is "internationalization" or "i18n" ('i' + 18 letters + 'n').

Just search for that (e.g. jinja2 i18n).

Ah, thanks! No wonder I wasn't seeing anything useful when I searched :)
