I think discord is a best way. There is a ready action for this (https://github.com/marketplace/actions/actions-for-discord), we can configure a role "translator" and mention it, when strings updated

@MikeWallaceDev, what do you think?

Discord and email together should work as a lot of people are not on Discord

I think it shouldn't because strings action should notify just translators (and there is no easy way to subscribe person to mailing, only editing action/secret) and release notifications is just automating of thing, you're doing manually

please let me know if you need me to create new channels for this

Yes, something like appflowy-translations in News and role Translator

Sure. I created a new channel called #translation-needed
Regarding the role 'Translator', I can create one but I might find it hard to maintain as I need to know every translator's Discord ID and assign the role accordingly.

Maybe then lock writing to this channel only to bot, who will write notifications and propose to translators (in docs) subscribe to notifications in this channel?

Sounds good to me! Is there anything else I can facilitate?

There is a way on Discord for people to subscribe and unsubscribe to roles by themselves. I've seen this on other servers. Usually it's something like a pinned message, and you get the role by clicking on a reaction icon (those little smileys at the bottom of a message)

I asked for a role like this for developpers so that we can send out critical messages (such as breaking changes in the environment.)

I'll try to find a blog post on this and send it to you @annieappflowy.
