We are starting an internationalization (i18n) effort to translate the project README.md into any language to make the project accessible to a global audience.

This issue serves as the central coordination and tracking point for all README translation work.


Scope

  • Translate docs/i18n/README.md
  • Preserve formatting, links, and code blocks
  • Add translations using the naming convention below

File Structure

All translations live in docs/i18n/ and follow this convention:

docs/i18n/
├── README.md          # Source (English)
├── README.<code>.md   # Translation

Examples

  • README.zh-CN.md
  • README.es.md
  • README.pt-BR.md

Use standard language codes (ISO 639, with region where applicable).


Languages

We welcome translations in all languages.

Each language should:

  • Have its own issue
  • Be worked on by one contributor at a time
  • Result in a single README.<code>.md file

Language issues may be linked here for visibility.


How to Contribute

  1. Check existing issues to avoid duplicate languages

  2. Open a new issue using this title format:

    README translation: <Language> (<code>)
  3. Comment on the issue to indicate you’re working on it

  4. Submit a PR when the translation is complete

Please work on only one language at a time.


Labels Used

  • i18n – Internationalization and localization work
  • documentation – Documentation-related changes
  • help wanted – Open for community contributions
  • good first issue – Beginner-friendly translations

Guidelines

  • Native or fluent speakers are strongly preferred
  • Do not change technical meaning or intent
  • Keep structure and tone consistent with the original README
  • Maintainers may request review before merging
