During the process of translating Qiskit documentation, you may identify errors (mostly typos) in the original documentation. Please feel free to suggest corrections by opening an issue and choose Documentation.
Qiskit documentation is translated (localized) using Crowdin, a software and web localization platform that allows organizations to coordinate translation projects and collaborate with communities to translate materials. Crowdin allows our community of translators to amplify their impact by automatically reusing the work invested in translating one sentence, to translate other, similar sentences. Crowdin also makes translations resilient to many types of changes to the original material, such as moving sentences around, even across files.
The Qiskit Localization Project currently supports: Bengali, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malayalam, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swahili, Tamil, Turkish, Urdu, and Vietnamese. These translations can be viewed from our staging site.
Japanese, German, Korean, Portuguese, Brazilian and French documentation are now available in the Qiskit Documentation website.
As mentioned in the blog post Qiskit in my language is Qiskit, we want to make sure that translated languages have enough community support to ensure quality and consistency.
If you want to add a new language and become a translation lead, you can open a GitHub issue to start a discussion with the Qiskit team and recruit translation project members. Please refer to the criteria below to receive official support from the administrators for new languages.
- A minimum of three contributors is necessary for any new languages to be added and receive official support from the administrators of the localization project.
- In addition to translators, we will need dedicated proof-readers to review the translations and approve accuracy of content in that language, to ensure the translations can be released in that language.
- Among the group of contributors, a translation lead must be identified to serve as a liaison with the administrators of the localization project. The lead must contact Samanvay Sharma (samanvay.sharma1@ibm.com) and Yuri Kobayashi (yurik@jp.ibm.com) by email for the language to be officially listed under this project.
These are general guidelines for joining translation efforts and adding new languages. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact Samanvay Sharma and Yuri Kobayashi. Thank you.
