- Create a login ID
- Add 2-3 lines about yourself and which translation you are working on in your user page which is at User:<your login id> (for example, User:Swaroop)
- Add information about the language, your motivation and the link to the Python_en:Translations page following the format used by others at the top of the page.
- Choose your two-letter shortcode for your language, such as "en" for English and "cn" for Chinese, or something like "nb-no" for Norwegian bokmål translation.
- This means your translation's pages should be prefixed with "Python:<two-letter shortcode>" such as Python_en:Preface or Python_nb-no:Forord
- Choose your category in English such as "A Byte of Python in Norwegian" or "A Byte of Python in Chinese".
- This is important because all your pages can be easily located if they are in the same category.
- The basic template of all of your pages should be:
<div class="python book"> Your translation here </div> [[Category:A Byte of Python in <your language>|<Page Name>]]
- Start translating with the text from Python_en:Table of Contents
- See Help:Editing on how to write in wiki format.
- You can create a Collection (such as the English version collection) to create PDFs of your translation.
- Do write to me and let me know when you start the translation, as well as if you have any doubts or suggestions.
- All the best!
