Include translations from ethereum.org #8

Hey - great project! Love this idea.

Unfortunately, many of our translations are within entire markdown files, which would be difficult to parse through but we have many translated phrases that may be useful:
https://github.com/ethereum/ethereum-org-website/blob/dev/docs/strings.json

Similarly to #4, the project holds a MIT license but our terms of use specifies the content is CC (see "Intellectual Property Rights" section). Will that suffice?

If you have any general ideas on how ethereum.org could improve its content translations to be more accessible by other projects, I'm all ears!

This is so good!

Now I'm torn... your content is licensed by CC by 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
It's the second most permissive, all it requires is some kind of attribution.

And I started this projcet as CC0 https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/
The most permissive, which doesn't even require attribution.

Now, a few people have already approached me to add translations, but most of them require attribution as well, just like yours.... So maybe, going forward it would make sense to change this license to CC BY 4.0. That way we could aggregate A TON of content.

But I don't know if it can be done! I will ask around and get back to you. Thank you so much for your offer!

Ok, please do let me know! Happy to ask our legal team if we can move to CC0 if there's enough of an argument for doing so but I'll wait until I hear back from you.
