Hey Boyz and Girlz 
After 10 years working with kodi, i would like to help developers with addon language translation "data collecting"
Right now addon developers, basically "waste" genious and PRECIOUS time on language translation, a task i believe basic others could help with a much more easy and global way in the future.
Step 1 : When an addon is developed and created on Github from a developer, the developer could basically just send an email to the "Kodi Easy Translaton team (example [email protected])
Step 2 : Me and other admin on this mail, could than transfer the default english language pack on the specific addon, to a webform that any user could figure out to use without any skills.
Step 3 : The webform could than generate a new mail back to the admin mail (example [email protected]) and the admin team on [email protected], could than generate a language pack (.po file) for the specific addon that needs translation, Upload the end result on github for the developer to to include in addon or link with.
**********
GITHUB EXAMPLE 1, on how the github page structure could look like combining custom and original language packs :

Possible ?
I know that this probably could be a little time consuming to keep updated. But i know for a fact that many users without coding/developing skills, would love to help the developers doing the translation, because they are grateful for the addon, and because they would like to help the developer the way they can.
I would promise to provide my time 1-2 hours everyday 5 days a week, to make this a succes
Reasons ?
1. Faster addon developing and updates like i described in the beginning...
2. Less addon support in general i believe "If i am a user and the plugin shows me both english and danish, than i might not only understand the english word in the plugin, but the danish translation could reflect common answers regarding Denmark"
Like ?
- Give me your comments on this thread on your point of view regarding this matter, what you think is needed, how you or other can help, and/or send me a PM or a mail : [email protected]
Dislike ?
- Please comment your reason why you dont believe this would work, there might be several of reasons i have not thought about yet i admit.
You ?
- You dont need to be a developer, real designer, or anything to help on this project.
- Send me a PM with YOUR Main reasons to use kodi, how YOU wish to use it in the future, and which languages you can write or talk besides english.
If you do this, i promise you that i will not just give you a general reply, but instead i will take my time as always, sending you my best believes on how our skills can match to teamwork, and how this give you more in return than the time you invest.
Looking forward to hear from you
