[Improvement] Home in languages other than English about mycroft-skills

[krisgesling]

Hi Denics,

Thanks for raising this. Proper multilingual support is certainly something we want to work toward however we don't have the capacity internally to do so at the moment. As such Mycroft only officially supports English.

Where we can, we support the community to contribute to language support including our translation platform, our multilingual parsing and formatting library Lingua Franca, and supporting a range of STT and TTS engines so that hopefully a service is available in your language. It's great to hear Mycroft is working well for you in Italian!

Off the top of my head, to provide multilingual support on home.mycroft.ai (aka Selene) we would need to:

• scrape all the text strings from Selene UI and sync it with our translation platform
• add the relevant UI elements to Selene to allow people to switch languages, and inject the text based on that language
• add language selection to the user onboarding process and send this to devices to update their config
• select a default STT, TTS configuration for each supported language.
• consider the best way of showing the languages supported by a Skill - is this a section in the README, a scrape of the vocab / dialog / locale sub-directories, or something else?

If you or anyone else reading along is interested in helping out on any of this, please let us know.
