Thanks for the interest in translating Code Cool Stuff with Python.
Before you start translating a document you can first open a pull request to see if anyone has already started working on a translation in your language.
If not then today is the day for you to spearhead the translation project! Here are the steps to translating Code Cool Stuff with Python:
- Fork the repository.
- Create a new branch for your translation. For example, if you’re translating the guide into German use
de. - Translate the files in
/book. - When you have at least the first chapter translated, go ahead and push it. For example, the path of the German translation repo should look like the following:
Code-Cool-Stuff-With-Python/de/book
Translating a book is a large project, so you’re more than welcome to break the process into parts. I’ll recommend working on a chapter at a time and then push what you got into the master branch.
If someone has already started a translation project and you would like to contribute then go to the project page, open up an issue, and ask how you can contribute. Ideally, multiple translators can work on a single translation project in an organized state.
