Re: Research: Translations od documentation

Hi Tim,

I'm aware that it's possible to translate Django documentation. I also know that it's translated to french only.

My question is one step behind: Does it makes sense to translate Django documentation and (more important) keep it updated? Would anyone use it? Is English language the common tongue for programmers? Why is Django docs translated to one language only? There isn't enough translators or users just don't find it useful?

I asked the same question in Czech django user group and most of them agreed that it doesn't make sense to translate whole Django documentation. It would make sense to translate materials for beginners, like tutorials, django book, etc.

So, at the moment, I don't care about the *tool* or *process*. I'm trying to figure it out if there is some kind of motivation to do this stuff.

Cheers,

   Tom

Maybe you aren't aware of the existing opportunity to translate Django's documentation?

Hello,
tonight is regular python/ruby meetup in Brno (Czech republic) about documentation. Last few months I've been working on project concerning localization of documents. I would like to know your opinion about localization of documentation:

Do you think it would be useful to translate documentation of:
1) Django
2) Python
3) Any project documented using Sphinx (like numpy, scipy, request, …)

Three simple answers Yes/No would help me a lot. If you write a short paragraph about your opinion, I will very appreciate it.

Thank you


Cheers,
