We would love contributions to our documentation. Writing clear, concise, and easy-to-translate documentation for a project like Solid can be tricky. It takes a community to make this possible. We encourage you to submit translations and edits as PRs and to join the #docs channel on the Solid Discord. A style guide and roadmap will be coming soon.
To start a translation project, create a folder with the language code in the langs folder of the project and copy English docs from the en folder. File structures must be maintained and content should be a direct translation without additions or modification of the original material. Kindly submit your contributions as PRs. A Solid team member and other native speakers of your language will have an opportunity to review your work before it's merged into the main branch.
If you feel the documentation is missing anything important, please feel free to open an issue or submit a modifying PR.
Each language folder has a README.md file that lets you know what changes have been made to the English documentation since the language has been updated.
The tables are automatically updated using markdown-magic when a commit is made to the main branch.
Note that the READMEs are only updated on the main branch.
(If you create a new language folder, it will automatically get a README.md file when the PR is merged.)
These READMEs are also a place for translation maintainers to write any notes about their translation.
This package serves to build the markdown files into a consumable format imported by solid-site.
Run yarn build to run the build script. This compiles the markdown into various json files in the dist folder and turns the index.ts file into an entry point that accesses them. Then, to view your changes in the context of the site, clone both repositories and run yarn link in the solid-docs directory and yarn link solid-docs in the solid-site directory.
After linking, run yarn watch in solid-docs to recompile your changes as you make them. Note that adding a new language or a new tutorial directory for a language that didn't have one won't trigger the watcher; run yarn build first.
The script mentioned above uses shiki to process the code which in turn uses VSCode tokens. Therefore any VSCode theme can be applied.
All you have to do is retrieve the JSON file describing your favorite theme (see ./build/github-light.json for an example), paste it into the build folder and refer to it in the fetchReleases.ts file around line 158: const theme = await loadTheme(resolve(__dirname, 'your-theme.json'));.
This section probably won't be relevant unless you're working on solid-site. The package exposes async functions to load the documentation using dynamic imports.
getSupported(resourcePath: string, lang?: string)Takes a resource path and returns a list of language codes that support that resource.
If passed a language code, it will return true if that language supports the resource.
getSupported("tutorials/async_lazy") //[ 'de', 'en', 'ja', 'ru', 'zh-cn' ]
getSupported("guides/comparison", "fr") // trueResource paths follow the directory structure of the language folders.
Currently, there are guide resources (guides/name), tutorial resources (tutorials/name), and the API resource (api).
getAllResourcePaths(lang: string): Promise<string[]>Returns a list of all resource paths for a given language.
getGuides(lang: string): Promise<Array<{resource: string, title: string, description: string}>>Takes a language code and returns an array of metadata for all supported guides. The array is sorted by the sort number in the guide metadata.
getDoc(lang: string, resource: string): Promise<DocFile | false>Takes a language code matching a langs subdirectory and a resource name and returns a documentation file (see src/types.ts) if it exists.
Use this to get the compiled output for all resources except tutorials.
getTutorial(lang: string, lesson: string): Promise<LessonFile | false>Takes a language code and a lesson name and returns a lesson file if it exists. Each tutorial file has the lesson code files (the starting state of the code editor); the solved files, which show up when the user clicks the Solve button; and the lesson markdown itself.
Lesson names come from a lang folder's tutorials/directory.json file which can be imported using the following function.
getTutorialDirectory(lang: string): Promise<LessonLookup[] | false>Returns the directory object for language if it provides tutorials.
Translating Solid's documentation into many languages helps our community grow internationally. Thank you to all our supporters and contributors who help maintain Solid Docs.
