Thanks for letting us know!

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.
