Please create more issues if you want to help translate the course!

How to get started?

• We have instructions for getting started.
• We also have instructions for reviewers.
• Some languages use a spreadsheet to distribute the work, see
  Vietnamese translation #1957 for an example.

The Rust Book is already translated into a number of languages. Please try to use the same terminology for your translations.

A great way to get started is to submit an almost-empty PO file for your language. That will ensure that you have the tooling setup and it will make it easier for others to jump in and help.

After a translation is merged, you can see the translation status.

Is there a translation in French? If not i would like to do it.

Hey @dblackstar, nobody has signed up for that yet! It would be awesome to have a French translation too. Let me quickly create an issue for that.

Working on the Chinese Mandarin translation of the book, thanks for your prior instructions! Can you help create an issue for that?

Awesome @baltuky, I've created #326 for that.

I've attached Cloud Translate versions of the messages.pot to the new issues. Please let me know if you need me to update anything else. You can also generate those yourself via #291.

[hilbert-yaa]

I've done that on my side. Thanks!

Hi all, if you haven't already, please take a look at the Rust Book translations: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-06-translation.html. When possible, I suggest using the same terminology as they use.

Hi @mgeisler, I could do a Polish translation.

Hi @mgeisler, I could do a Polish translation.

Hi @pierd, thanks a lot, that would be super cool! If you create an issue for it, then I'll link it here!

Created the issue for Polish translation: #399

could I help with this issue in Spanish? I had not seen that the ticket for Spanish was open and I made progress with the translation.

Do we generally translate source code snippets? IMHO it definitely makes sense for the comments and maybe string literals but not really for variable/function/etc names.

I was checking other translations for some examples. Brazilian Portuguese version translates some string literals and some comments but not all (modules, some exercise) while Korean version leaves the string literals as is but translates all comments (modules, the same exercise).
