Hi @dblackstar, are you able to assign this issue to yourself?

[mgeisler]

Here is a Cloud Translate version of the messages.pot file: fr.zip. I hope that can work as a good starting point.

Oh yes it help a lot, i was figuring out how to host the translated book.

Excellent! Also, I just noted that there is a French translation of the Rust Book. That might be useful too: https://github.com/Jimskapt/rust-book-fr.

My plan is to publish the translations with the English version. We already publish a very incomplete Danish version here: https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/da/ (I'll add links to it when we have a more complete version).

@dblackstar I'd be happy to help by reviewing the translation :)
I'm a native French speaker like you and I'm willing to provide an "inclusiveness" review so that the labels are gender neutral

@ZoeThivet Yes sure it would be nice to work on that togother. Fork my Repo and for the guide on translation we follow https://github.com/Jimskapt/rust-book-fr

Hi @dblackstar and @ZoeThivet, I would very much encourage working together on this — there are nearly 30k words to translate so it's a big task!

The machine generated translation can perhaps help to get your started:

Hi @KookaS, that would be amazing!

I think @dblackstar is working in https://github.com/dblackstar/comprehensive-rust, but I don't see any new commits yet.

Please start by putting up a PR which adds a po/fr.po file which is mostly untranslated. Follow the instructions in https://github.com/google/comprehensive-rust/blob/main/TRANSLATIONS.md for that — and please let me know if there is anything unclear in them 😄

[mgeisler]

Thanks @KookaS for starting the translation! I see we have almost 350 strings translated, which is a great start!

[mgeisler]

The in-progress translation is now linked from the translations page. Please comment here if you would like to help out!

Hi! Just chiming in. I'll help the French translations as well!

[yohcop]

I found this page, in the french translation of the rust-book, which is quite handy:
https://jimskapt.github.io/rust-book-fr/translation-terms.html

I hope this helps!

[mgeisler]

Thanks @yohcop, that sounds awesome! I think the translation has stalled here, so any help is appreciated!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that there is a newly started French speaking Rust community on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/rustfr/. Perhaps people there would have good input on how to translate different words in a nice way.
