Suggestion: Remove Google translation bar
ThomasLandauer opened this issue · comments
I'm suggesting to remove the Google translation bar that was introduced in #141
Why?
- Since it's loaded with JavaScript, it's causing a so-called Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS, see https://web.dev/cls/): After everything is on screen, the translation bar appears, moving everything down.
- In that toolbar I've clicked the "Deactivate for English" button at least ;-) 100 times, but it keeps reappearing every time...
The bar was, as far as I remember, a quick win to provide docs in multiple languages. I don't know how heavily it's used by our visitors, so just removing them isn't an appropriate option. If there's a way how we can see if people are enabling translations?

Without having looked into it, I would guess: No, cause the bar comes from Google and only talks to Google ;-)
For me, the relevant questions are:
- How many Doctrine users don't understand English well enough?
- How many of those can't use Google Translation by themselves?
- How good is the translation at all?
So my opinion is:
It's an annoyance for the vast majority, and doesn't provide any real value for the rest.
