Hi Antonio,

Since your initial message in January, are you still interested in
contributing a new translation to orgweb?

Assuming you still are interested, you can take the skeleton of my
(which is, admittedly, stalled due to lack of time) translation on
zh-CN, and go from there.  If you don't know where it is, I'll dig up a
url for you.

The workflow I used for zh-CN translation was
(1): first make a single mega-copy+symlink commit
(2): translate the org files one-by-one

This way reviewers don't need to go back and forth between two files and
"diff with naked eyes".

You can also choose to start small and only translate the main site at
first -- in fact, no translations except mine covers all
(reasonably-sized) pages of orgweb.

I believe either Ihor or Bastien mentioned somewhere that you need to
finish the FSF copyright assignment for the translation work as well.
I don't know who to ask on orgmode ML, but someone should be able to get
you started if you express interest in the translation work.

In any case, let the list know if you encounter any problems -- someone
should be able to resolve them should any comes up.

Best,

Thanks for letting us know!
I fixed the links:

I can help translate to zh_CN occasionally, seeing that the repo is not
updated too frequently.  Although I might need some pointers on how to
start a new translation, and how sourcehut works. :)

Also, does this need a copyright assignment?  FTR, I am still waiting
for a counter-signature from FSF on Emacs.

Just clone the repo from https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/orgweb and send patches
to this mailing list as usual. See
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html

AFAIK, yes. For the official Org page (not WORG), we require FSF
copyright assignment.

Note that FSF should usually reply within 5 working days. If not, you
follow up once, wait another 5 working days, and then let us know - we
can push them stronger.

Thanks, now I have cloned the repo locally.

While reading the files, there is one immediate issue I have found: on
current orgweb master (feed1160), line 153 of /index.org has a broken
link on how to contribute to worg.  Similarly, /ja/index.org has the
same broken link, whereas /fr/index.org has a different paragraph in its
place so no broken links there.

Anyone willing to help with orgmode.org website can get access to the
https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/orgweb repository and help with translations too.

Just let me know!   And thanks in advance.

CCing Bastien.

The main issue with non-English translations is maintenance. As you
noticed, English and non-English pages are already out of sync.

We need some better way to maintain translations. For example, we may
maintain a checksum of the translation vs. original English version
per-paragraph or per-section. Then, we can automate export for
non-English pages that will only use the translations that correspond to
the originally translated paragraphs and fall back to English otherwise.

This intrigues me as well.  I would like to extend this question into a
more general one: how does one contribute translations to an existing
language, and/or to a new language?

Also, two small nitpicks:

1. The Japanese version has the following lines that are not translated:

> Install via GNU ELPA: M-x package-install RET org RET
> Download: git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs/org-mode.git
> Bug reports: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org
> Org project: https://sr.ht/~bzg/org

2. The English version does not have the equivalent snippet above.

It's possible, to translate the org-mode website into Spanish?

[Antonio Simón]

Greetings from Spain.

I'm a newbie in the FOSS world and a big fan of Emacs and org-mode in 
which I'm taking my first steps.


I have seen that the Org mode page  is 
available in several languages, and Spanish is not one of them.


I was thinking of contributing my time to the project by developing the 
Spanish version of the site, if you find it useful.


If you accept this collaboration I would need a small list of the tools 
and procedures to use, to ensure that I'm competent with them.


Thank you for your patience, I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
