Docs Language

[kalpovskii]

Can I translate the docs into my native language? Or you wish It to be only in English?

You can translate since you keep English as well and update the documentation too.

I'm new to open source. What should I do first?

Don't worry, we'll help you.

1 - Fork the project to your GitHub.
2 - From the main branch create another with a suggestive name, e.g: feature/add-doc-language-<here the language that you're doing it>
3 - After all the work is done, you create a merge request from your repo to ours.

Sounds complicated, but it isn't, the GitHub UI gives you all the support to do that, but if you have any question while you're doing that you can post here and we'll help you out with that.

Hi, @twistn1! You can contact me if you need some support in Russian

@Messhias I would vote against accepting PR adding docs on other language. By accepting PR we also accept responsibility to maintain these changes relevant. Supporting documentation in multiple languages might difficult without team of active members, who can take this responsibility. As only russian-speaking member, I cannot take this responsibility, at least for now, because of IRL difficulties caused by ongoing situation

@leon0399 Thank you. I will contact you if needed.
Despite if you accepting or not, I will translate it for my russian-speaking colleagues anyways. I understand your concerns, but I hope my translation could help the russian-speaking community.

I believe we don't have to take this responsibility since someone is want to do that, our only responsibility is to keep it as English, I'm a Brazil Portuguese speaker native as well and for me sometimes is hard to work with something without my native language and I understand why he wants to do that, and we're open source, so anyone can contribute, if the documentation in any other XPTO language being outdated or something like that, just go the English as well.

I don't see how this could harm the repository.

But I believe we need to vote on that to decide.

Is there's way to do some votation here on GitHub?
