Add additional language colors

[JoeyStk]

Motivation

We have added colors for languages. But currently we don't have colors for four languages. As soon as UI/UX provides them, please add them to the system.
Additionally UI/UX will give us some extra colors, which we also want to add to the system and just not assign them to a language (yet).

Proposed Solution

• Look up the name of colors that were provided
• Add colors to the system

Todos:

• Add language colors for Georgian, Slovak, Serbian (cyrillic) and Oromo (for Integreat)
• Add language colors for Paschto, Uzbek and Macedonian (for Malte)
• Add some buffer language colors for yet unspecified languages

Alternatives

None

User Story

Additional Context

• Figma file to find the colors
• PR which shows how colors where added before

Design Requirements

[MizukiTemma]

Those languages exist in Integreat and are waiting for color assignment:

• Georgian
• Oromo
• Slovak
• Serbian (cyrillic)

Additionally those languages need colors for Malthe:

• Mazedonisch
• Paschto
• Usbekisch

@nassabay Feel free to add informations and comments 😸

[nassabay]

Just to add that Serbian has the same colour as Russian: Purple. Maybe it would be a good idea to choose another colour for Serbian.

The colors for Oromo, Slovak, Servian (cyrillic) and Georgian can be found here

@nassabay @MizukiTemma there is a suggestion from UI/UX team, @hauf-toni? Does it make sense then to implement this issue? Maybe it is better to close this current Issue and open another one like suggested below in Figma? 🤔

[hauf-toni]

the colors should definitely be implemented. at the same time, the function of being able to set colors yourself would be super important due to the circumstances described above & should be introduced as soon as possible. do you need a design proposal for this?

it could be implemented like on the example picture below with an input set to color where users can choose colors by their own, @MizukiTemma what do you think?

[JoeyStk]

Probably also a question for @osmers

[osmers]

@hauf-toni design proposal would be good bcs I cannot imagine well right now what it would look like - where will the users choose these colors? On the statistics page itself? And will the settings be saved to the specific user? Otherwise it defeats the purpose of having the same colors for every language in every region, right?
And going back to your other point - labeling of language names is already done in the CMS. Is that, what you had in mind?

[hauf-toni]

@osmers the labeling is nicely done, I just wanted to point out the importance of clear labeling at the time. I would be happy to make a design draft for a manual selection of the colors & their location. Should we open a specific issue for that or keep the proposal within this workflow, what works best for you?

[MizukiTemma]

If we implement the user-specific color-language setting, I suggest to open another issue with mention to this one.

Yes, definetely.

[osmers]

I just wanna add that I wouldn't put the user specific color setting high on our priority list bcs so far we never had any feedback that users could not differentiate the colors in the statistics - and we've been using colors (much less contrasty colors as well) for the last 3 years at least.

[MizukiTemma]

@osmers
Ok, then shall we implement only new colors for now?

[osmers]

@MizukiTemma yeah :) but we can create the new issue for the color picker and put it in the backlog

[MizukiTemma]

Opened #2926
Feel free to modify and correct 😸

[nikolahoff]

@MizukiTemma @JoeyStk I think this ticket is done for UI, right? Or what about the Blocked items:
BLOCKED: Add language colors for Paschto, Uzbek and Macedonian (for Malte)
BLOCKED: Add some buffer language colors for yet unspecified languages

Otherwise I would put it on done

[JoeyStk]

@nikolahoff As far as I know we still need the two other blocked items, so the three colors for Malte and then some additional language colors for the future :)

[nikolahoff]

Here are the additional colours

[JoeyStk]

@nikolahoff Thank you very much :) I think ticket is ready for us then :)

[osmers]

@JoeyStk @lunars97 can this issue be moved to in progress then?

[JoeyStk]

@osmers I don't think that active implementation has been done yet
