Hi @bijanbwb,

The book is already available for translation, I wrote to you about this by email?

Hi @lex111, thanks again for reaching out!

The good news is that I've pushed a ton of recent changes and I'm pretty close to shipping a new full release (you can see the recent progress on the preview branch).

For context, I did manage to ship a new release on 12/16/2018 that included revisions for all but the last few chapters. The idea was that anyone starting the book would be able to start with the latest versions of Phoenix (1.4) and Elm (0.19).

And the next release (which should be done within the next week or two) will include all new content for the chapters on Phoenix channels and integrating them with Elm. It's been an exciting change because I managed to get rid of the dependencies on external packages by using Elm ports, which are a nice addition to the content.

Great, then I'm waiting for the next release, and then can I translate the book?

I managed to finish up with the major rewrites and the last new chapters last night! I also pushed all the changes to the demo repo so I'll send out an email to all readers today to announce the updates.

I'll reach out via email to figure out translation details too. Thanks again!
