Hi, [Sent to lilypond-user, BBCed to lilypond-devel]
After almost two years of promising myself I would integrate https://extending-lilypond.readthedocs.io/ into the official LilyPond documentation someday while never doing it, I decided to officialize the status quo that it would be maintained separately from the official documentation. Now that it doesn't have a perspective of being translated inside the LilyPond documentation anymore, it makes sense to translate it into other languages in the repository where it lives. Today, I added a little bit of infrastructure for that and put a stub for a French translation, which I will probably work on at some point in the coming months. If you are interested in translating this into another language, please let me know. The translation is done in .po files, like most translation workflows (but not the one for the official documentation). Keep in mind that, from my experience, it is necessary to have some level of familiarity with the content in order to do a translation. The same goes for https://scheme-tutorial.readthedocs.io/, which is currently available in English and French. Actually, this one might be both shorter and less technical for a translator, and more important to translate. However, the current translation is from French to English, so I would have to "reverse" it. I'll do this if anybody is interested in translating it. Also, trying not to sound pretentious, I do think the extending guide is not a completely insignificant part of the LilyPond ecosystem today, as it is basically the only place other than LilyPond's source code to learn about quite a few programming techniques. For this reason, I am interested in increasing its bus factor. I'll gladly grant access to anybody requesting it provided that I have a little bit of experience working with that person. This applies to the Scheme tutorial too. Regards, Jean
