Preflight Checklist

Problem Description

Korea is a rapidly growing market in the IT and software development industry. Many developers in Korea utilize a wide range of programming languages and frameworks, including Electron, for cross-platform development. However, the absence of Korean language support in Electron limits accessibility for Korean developers, hindering their ability to fully utilize and contribute to the platform. This lack of localization poses a barrier to entry and reduces the potential adoption and community support from a significant user base in Korea.

Proposed Solution

To address this issue, it is proposed to add Korean language support to Electron's documentation and interface via Crowdin, a popular translation and localization platform. This will involve translating existing documentation, UI elements, and other resources into Korean, making them accessible to Korean-speaking developers. This enhancement will facilitate easier understanding and use of Electron, ultimately leading to greater adoption and contribution from the Korean developer community.

Alternatives Considered

One alternative considered was to rely on community-driven, unofficial translations. However, this approach may result in inconsistent quality and coverage, and it may not be integrated seamlessly into the main project, leading to fragmentation. Official support through a platform like Crowdin ensures consistency, accuracy, and comprehensive coverage.

Additional Information

Supporting Korean translations aligns with Electron's mission to be accessible and inclusive to developers worldwide. Given Korea's significant contributions to the global tech industry, incorporating Korean language support can strengthen Electron's position and appeal in this key market. Additionally, this step can serve as a model for adding other languages in the future, further broadening Electron's global reach.
