|
Translation's purpose is to ease reading and understanding in languages other
|
2019-03-14 20:45:16 +00:00
|
|
|
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
|
2019-03-23 17:54:16 +00:00
|
|
|
comfortable writing in English, you can ask the translation's maintainers
|
|
|
|
|
for help.
