    Hi, I was wondering why not adding translations on Crowdin for the articles in the Aternos help center. it's not particularly important but it could be useful for people who don't speak English very well and for those who just want the articles to be in their native language.

    Hope you'll consider this!

    The main issue with translating articles is that articles are updated quite often. Basically, whenever something changes on our website or in Minecraft, we need to change all related articles accordingly.


    Additionally, support articles usually are coherent text, so they need to be translated as a whole. If you split them into sentences and have them translated individually, the result probably wouldn't make much sense.


    It is also important for articles to contain the same information, no matter who is reading it. Having outdated information for some languages wouldn't be great.


    In the end, that means that whenever we change some small detail in an article, we'd have to invalidate all translations for it and wait for people to translate them all over again. This results in a ton of additional work for everyone (especially translators) and very little benefit since, again, we update articles very often.
