Hey, I want to work on this issue. I will translate this tutorial in Hindi(हिंदी)

[Lucas-C]

Awesome! Thank you @Mridulbirla13 😊

If you need any help, on fpdf2 or how to submit a PR, ask you your questions here!

[Tititesouris]

Hi, I can take care of the French translation if you want :)

[Lucas-C]

@Tititesouris : chouette !
Je procrastine à faire la trad depuis des mois ^^
Avec plaisir !

[digidigital]

I can provide a German translation.

[Lucas-C]

Great! Go ahead 😉

[Tititesouris]

Hey @Lucas-C, vu la quantité de travail, mon temps limité et le fait que Hacktoberfest arrive bientôt à son terme, est-ce que ça te dérange si je te fais une première PR avec le tuto 1 (tu peux du coup déjà me faire un retour sur la qualité), et une autre PR d'ici le 30 avec au moins les tutos 2 & 3 ?
Dans tous les cas je te traduis l'entièreté d'ici la mi-novembre 😉

[Lucas-C]

Aucun problème, fais ça au rythme que tu veux !

[Lucas-C]

@yellkrishna That would be wonderful!
Thank you for volunteering 🙏❤️

[bcronald]

Hi! I want to translate in Tamil please.

[Lucas-C]

Hi and welcome @bcronald !
That would be great 😊
Do you need guidance on how to proceed, or do you already know how to submit a PR?

[Lucas-C]

By the way @yellkrishna & @bcronald: have you checked that fpdf2 can render text in those languages?
I'm curious because we have already faced limitations with Hindi: #365

[bcronald]

Hi and welcome @bcronald ! That would be great blush Do you need guidance on how to proceed, or do you already know how to submit a PR?

Thanks. Yes please, guidance would be nice. Sorry for the late reply.

[bcronald]

By the way @yellkrishna & @bcronald: have you checked that fpdf2 can render text in those languages? I'm curious because we have already faced limitations with Hindi: #365

No, not yet checked in Tamil. I will do that and post result.

Tamil is not being rendered correctly.

Code:
from fpdf import FPDF

pdf = FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.add_font('lohit-taml', fname='/usr/share/fonts/truetype/lohit-tamil/Lohit-Tamil.ttf')
pdf.set_font('lohit-taml', size=18)
pdf.write(8, u'யாதும் ஊரே யாவரும் கேளிர்')
pdf.output("fpdf2_tamil_test.pdf")

Attached the resulting pdf below:
fpdf2_tamil_test.pdf
்

[Lucas-C]

Tamil is not being rendered correctly.

It's a pity 😔 Thanks for testing @bcronald.
I don't know Tamil: is the problem with ligatures, like for Hindi text, or is there a different issue here?

[bcronald]

is the problem with ligatures, like for Hindi text, or is there a different issue here?

Yes, it is the same problem as here global-healthy-liveable-cities/global_scorecards#7
When the text is selected and copied from the pdf and pasted into text editor (I am on Ubuntu 20.04) it apperars correctly, wheras in the pdf, the components of a complex character are either not arranged in the correct sequence or not attached together with main character.

Hi, I can provide a Greek translation.

[Lucas-C]

Hi and welcome @bcronald ! That would be great blush Do you need guidance on how to proceed, or do you already know how to submit a PR?

Thanks. Yes please, guidance would be nice. Sorry for the late reply.

I suggest to read the following documentation on how to submit a contribution:
https://opensource.guide/how-to-contribute/#how-to-submit-a-contribution

Once you will be familiar with the basic concepts of git & GitHub,
you can copy the file docs/Tutorial.md in a file docs/Tutorial-ta.md and perform the translation. Then submit a Pull Request containing this file.

Hi, I can provide a Greek translation.

That would be awesome @sokratisvas , great!

Do you need any more information or guidance?

[Lucas-C]

Re-opening this: I just now realize that I closed the issue in October 🤭😅

We would still welcome new translations though!

[Bubbu0129]

Need Simplified Chinese translation? I think I can get the main parts translated, but maybe not every page of the doc.

[Lucas-C]

Yes, such translation of the tutorial would be welcome @Bubbu0129!

Even if you only translate one or two of the 6 sections of the tutorial, a PR would be welcome as a starting point!

[ssavi-ict]

Hello, @Lucas-C I would like to work on Bengali Translation. Can I do that?
If yes then a Quick Question - I need to translate this Tutorial.md file. Am I right?

[Lucas-C]

Wonderful! Yes, please do so!

Exactly 😊
You can take inspiration from the previous PRs,
like this one that introduced a Russian translation: #283

[Lucas-C]

the section 5 of the tutorial is now obsolote and was removed from all tutorials.

Note to all translators:

• With the introduction of the new FPDF.text_columns() method, the section 4 of the tutorial is now obsolote and was removed from all tutorials without an updated translation.

• In some languages, section 5 "Tables" (https://pyfpdf.github.io/fpdf2/Tutorial.html#tuto-5-creating-tables) also hasn't been updated yet.

Cool, thanks!
I only see changelog entries for full new tutorial translations, so I guess it's not required here...

[Polderrider]

Leave the Dutch to me. Not that they need it as Dutch IT dudes English is more than sufficient! But this will be only my second contribution ever, so it's a nice starter for using git. It will also help improve my Dutch which i am learning. Don't worry i will have a native speaker cast an eye over it before i publish

[gmischler]

Leave the Dutch to me.

Thanks for the offer, @Polderrider!
Just go right ahead and create a PR.
