Contributing translations

We highly encourage community translations! We no longer have professional translations, and we believe in the power of our community to provide accurate and helpful translations.

The documentation is translated into these languages:

  • English (en)
  • Spanish (es)
  • French (fr)
  • Italian (it)
  • Japanese (ja)
  • Korean (ko)
  • Brazilian Portuguese (pt-br)
  • Russian (ru)
  • Slovak (sk)
  • Thai (th)
  • Turkish (tr)
  • Ukrainian (uk)
  • Uzbek (uz)
  • Simplified Chinese (zh-cn)
  • Traditional Chinese (zh-tw)

To find translations that need to be done, you can filter for merged PRs that include the tag for your language, such as requires-translation-es.

When you contribute a translation, please reference the original PR. This helps the person merging your translation to remove the requires-translation-es tag from the original PR.
