Move off of Google Translate

Created by: robinmetral

#511 and #700 (closed) already mention that translations are currently done via a Google Translate widget in the footer.

But if your browser is in another language, it's much more than just the footer:

google-translate

This raises a few issues:

  • Google scripts = tracking. In the same idea as #737 (closed), it might be good to move off of Google Translate.
  • My browser is in French but I can read in English. I don't need this Translate bar popping up everywhere
  • The Translate bar looks really old and ugly
  • It's really not accessible
  • Google translations of full webpages are really bad (at least in French)
  • If somebody doesn't understand something, they can pop it into Google Translate anyway. We're used to it 🙂

➡ Since we're moving to community translations anyway (see #511 and #700 (closed)), how about getting rid of the Google Translate widget?
