This is a great idea @xmalinov! There's been a reasonable amount of support to move to gitbook so that we have an improved reading/writing experience, and fortunately gitbook supports multiple languages so we might be on to a winner with that one 😄
I have a small tip for better translating process: to adopt the Semantic Versioning for our purposes and use it for the Guide. It can make sync of the translation with the original document a bit easy. The translated version will be refer to a specific version.
E.g.:
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
MAJOR version when you make the gitbook release of newer edition,
MINOR version when you add a chapter or a whole section
PATCH version when you make typo fixes.
I believe it has already been translated into Korea and Belarussian. I can't seem to find the translations however. I would of course be honored for anyone to undertake a translation.
This is all very exciting -- with the conversion to gitbook I think we'll be in a better position to provide the guide in multiple languages (gitbook multiple languages). I'll look to get the gitbook conversion merged in, and then restructure for multiple languages
I am also interested in contributing to translate into Arabic @adhamenaya please let me know how I can support your work in translation to Arabic and how you are following version updates in the original guid ?
@braydie fantastic! How do I contribute? I'm thinking about pt-br translation. The other translation project seems to be abandoned. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong. 🐭
Best way to get started would be to fork the repository and in your own copy create a new folder named 'pt-br' and take a copy of the chapters and sections from the English version to translate from. In order for gitbook to pick up the new translation you'll also need to update the langs file at the root of the repository.
Once your translation is complete you can submit it via a pull request!
Also once we've had a language added we typically add the person who provided the translation as a collaborator on the project so that we've got someone who can translate any additional changes in the future
