LearnOSM updates

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NlJHTYAYpyyF5o9D8UMAsSzFG7lHY2cIi2mzncx530w/edit?usp=sharing nl, Dutch, translations have been going ahead at speed & most of the modules available for translation have now been done.

zh, Simplified Chinese, translation has started & is on site. Have received feedback & a number of amendments will be needed. The translation process is inserting gaps, where there should not be gaps.

Language bar at top of page has been extended so more languages displayed on each line.

fa, Persian - awaiting an update on http://nick-tallguy.github.io/fa/ where I've created some 'right to left' HTML documents so that right to left languages should display better. Jut needs checking before passing to main site - I have quickly checked it with a translation site & think it is okay. The display is not perfect, and we could do with further work on the rtl layouts in the future.

cz Czech - couple of modules have been translated - chapter headings only at this stage.

RTL languages In the future, for next iteration of the complete building of the front page & layout grids, will require a rewording of the .css layouts as they currently divide the 'page' according to the words 'left' & 'right' which makes adapting for 'right to left' languages difficult. From what I've seen the recommendation is 'forwards' and 'backwards', or something similar (I'm a complete amateur in this field, but this is what my research has revealed so far - if an expert comes forward, that would be terrific).

Tasking Manager Admin - Guide on LearnOSM.

I have not had time to develop this any further - hopefully in the next week or so.

Staging Site

A new home for the staging site has been created at https://github.com/hotosm/learnosm-staging - will be updated when time is available.
