Are there any efforts to improve or standardize translations of Solidity documentation?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been going through the official Solidity documentation and found it really well-structured, but I was wondering about its accessibility for non-English speakers. Are there any ongoing community efforts or official initiatives to translate the documentation into other languages? If so, how are those translations download from here and kept in sync with frequent updates?

Also, for those who’ve used translated versions, do you find them reliable enough for learning and development, or do you still rely mostly on the original English docs?

Hi and welcome!

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We have a bunch of translation efforts going on here: Solidity Documentation Translations · GitHub. In this org you can find a variety of different translations. Some are more maintained than others. If your language is currently not up-to-date I recommend opening and issue in the repo with the language you want, requesting that it will get up-to-date. Or even better, open a Pull Request getting the translation up-to-date.

You can also check out the Matrix channel: https://matrix.to/#/#solidity-docs-translations:matrix.org

Either way, if you let me know the language you’re looking for, I can try to get in touch with the maintainers.

Hello @alishawinson,

I am the author of the Localize The Docs organization. It’s my pleasure to invite you to join the translation of the :tada: solidity-docs-l10n :tada: project:

The goal of this project is to translate The Solidity Documentation into multiple languages. Translations are contributed via the Crowdin platform, automatically synchronized with the GitHub repository, and can be previewed on GitHub Pages.

If the target language is not supported in the project yet, please submit an issue to request the new language. Once the requested language is added, you can start translating!

See the announcement post for more details.
