New system/form for adding new Quotes and Translations

[dk3775]

We need to design a new system that can be used to add new translations and quotes more effectively, the current system which we are using can create issues like big file size (geeksay.js), conflicting branches while managing multiple PRs, editing the main file manually every time when we need to add a quote or translations and much more.

Propose your ideas to fix this problems.

To solve the problem of big file size, implement a database would probaly be the best option, it will help to maintain the quotes/words more organized.

To solve the problem of the conflicts, could be created another site where the people could post their new translations/quotes directly on the database. Removing the need to change the main project that is causing the conflicts

[marilia-borgo]

Thinking of that, to add new translations/quotes it wouldnt be necessary to create another site, just add a page inside de geeksay where people could add new translations. This way, even people who dont code can contribute.

@marilia-borgo Agreed but If we implement a database then the process of fetching and translating the strings at runtime would be very complex or difficult. Do you have anything in mind to achieve that?

[marilia-borgo]

i don't think it will very complex, it would be simple using a back-end with django for example.

[dk3775]

So can you do that or explain rough logic regarding how to do it.

[marilia-borgo]

ok, i will start making a rought database to show my idea.

Or we can also implement it with MongoDB and Node.

All new folks start from here..

Basically it's like writing a backend for this site. We can create a NodeJs file which will have different routes, among them will be the one in which we can enter a new quote/translation which should be inserted in the database. We just need to do some changes in the main/home page in such a way that the required data is retrieved from the database.

This will probably not be the best overall solution since it will increase the initial load time, or if possible use a webworker to execute that side of the code. Anyways this is what I am proposing to mimic a constant time operation instead of making requests to the database server each time a user needs to translate a quote, why not during the initial load, fetch all the quotes and store them in a session storage or local storage so that all requests will be made to that storage instead of the server and will only make requests at specific interval to the server to refresh the local storage or session storage

@glorious-elijah your idea is exactly the thing I was thinking about but the issue is it will take high initial load times while fetching the translation array.
