Hello,

I am preparing a Spanish version of this lesson. Even if (for now) it would only be a partial version, I would like to share it. However, I don't know how.

Would you please advise me on how to do it? Should I create all my files under an "es" folder, or something like that?

Thanks!

@allentiak We never agreed on how translations should be handle. :-( @statkclee translated the lessons to Korean. Some old discussion at swcarpentry/DEPRECATED-lesson-template#229. I also remember some discussion on discuss mailing list where @wking made some suggestions.

It is excellent for you to develop resources for our Spanish-speaking community!

There are two issues here, similar to those we are discussing regarding the workshop template: swcarpentry/workshop-template#338

  1. How do we logistically manage the storage of translations?
  2. How do we keep translations up-to-date with each other?

Hi @allentiak. We made an attempt to translate some of the lessons into Spanish a couple of years ago. The main problem is that there is not a simple system to support translations, so pretty much you have to do it manually. At that time, lessons were evolving rapidly and it was hard to keep up.

On the other hand, I think it would much easier now that we have a fixed calendar of releases (twice a year). My preference would be to translate the tagged release version once is out and then live with it until the next release. I think after the initial translation (which will take some time), we would just neeed a couple of days every 6 months.

Because of the release calendar, I think that it would be easier to maintain than the workshop-template, which needs to be more often.

@rgaiacs @k8hertweck @gvwilson how hard would be to provide a traslation of the lesson template, so that we get links, headers, etc... in the new language? I think this could be a good starting point.

The second thing to agree would be the system to name the lessons and make them available within the SWC website. This suggestion looks good to me.

Not hard.

As far as I know, to have http://swcarpentry.github.io/en/workshop-template/ and http://swcarpentry.github.io/pt-br/workshop-template/ on GitHub pages we will need to have https://github.com/swcarpentry/en and https://github.com/swcarpentry/pt-br and store on it all the information. :-(

Hi @allentiak @iglpdc So this topic (translations to spanish) is currently ongoing. We have a group of translators. I would like to ask you you would like to collaborate with this, then I can send you an email with more details. I am specially looking for people who are familiar with transifex and git.

Hi, @orchid00,
Thanks for reaching out.
Unfortunately, I don't have much time for this right now...

@orchid00 I told you, I believe, that Transifex will not work.

The primary issue is Carpentries-ES/board#1. Please left a comment showing that transifex translated the strings that I mentioned on that issue.

The secondary issue is Carpentries-ES/board#2. It will make the update of the translation much harder. Again, I'm suggesting that you and @map0logo reconsider the use of transifex.

@allentiak Is it okay to close this issue now that a published translation is available?
