- Translation's purpose is to ease reading and understanding in languages other
- than English. Its aim is to help people who do not understand English or have
- doubts about its interpretation. Additionally, some people prefer to read
- documentation in their native language, but please bear in mind that the
- *only* official documentation is the English one: :ref:`linux_doc`.
- It is very unlikely that an update to :ref:`linux_doc` will be propagated
- immediately to all translations. Translations' maintainers - and
- contributors - follow the evolution of the official documentation and they
- maintain translations aligned as much as they can. For this reason there is
- no guarantee that a translation is up to date. If what you read in a
- translation does not sound right compared to what you read in the code, please
- inform the translation maintainer and - if you can - check also the English
- documentation.
- A translation is not a fork of the official documentation, therefore
- translations' users should not find information that differs from the official
- English documentation. Any content addition, removal or update, must be
- applied to the English documents first. Afterwards and when possible, the
- same change should be applied to translations. Translations' maintainers
- accept only contributions that are merely translation related (e.g. new
- translations, updates, fixes).
- Translations try to be as accurate as possible but it is not possible to map
- one language directly to all other languages. Each language has its own
- grammar and culture, so the translation of an English statement may need to be
- adapted to fit a different language. For this reason, when viewing
- translations, you may find slight differences that carry the same message but
- in a different form.
- If you need to communicate with the Linux community but you do not feel
- comfortable writing in English, you can ask the translation's maintainers
- for help.
