Translations
Create a new directory in source/ named after the ISO 639-1 code
for the language you wish to translate Keep a Changelog to. For example,
assuming you want to translate to French Canadian:
- create the
source/fr-CAdirectory. - duplicate the
source/en/1.0.0/index.html.hamlfile insource/fr-CA. - edit
source/fr-CA/1.0.0/index.html.hamluntil your translation is ready. - commit your changes to your own fork
- submit a Pull Request with your changes
It may take some time to review your submitted Pull Request. Try to involve a
few native speakers of the language you're translating to in the Pull Request
comments. They'll help review your translation for simple mistakes and give us
a better idea of whether your translation is accurate.
