It would be really interesting and useful to support other languages.

I can provide an Arabic translation, but we will need to make sure that RTL languages work.

@leomartinez I agree, I was going to wait a little longer so that BookStack was more stable but I'll start to take language support into account and start to organise/structure current english text to be translated.

@jaksz Thanks for the offer. I'll have to start organising the english content first. I'll update this issue as progress is made. I have little experience with RTL languages but I'll do what I can.

Sorry it's taken a while but full support for translations is now pretty much fully baked into BookStack (For the next release). I've added some details to the readme in regards to developing translations. If editing the text files via git is troublesome drop a comment below and I can look into translation management services (Or let me know if you have any recommendations in this area) to make things easier for any non-developers.

Since the base translation system is now all in place I will close this issue. There's likely to be a few errors or a few missing strings as it's taken a lot of work to put this into place so just open a new issue for anything extra.
