Translation (aka **localization**) is a great way to get involved with open source development without having to code. + +Our translation process is loosly based off of [MDN.](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2020/12/an-update-on-mdn-web-docs-localization-strategy/) + +### Important: Beta Status + +Astro is changing quickly, and so are the docs. We cannot translate too many pages until Astro is closer to a v1.0.0 release candidate. **To start, do not translate more than the "getting started" page.** Once we are closer to a v1.0.0 release candidate, we will begin translating all pages. + +### Tier 1: Priority Languages + +**Tier 1** languages are considered a top priority for Astro documentation. The docs site should be fully translated into these languages, and reasonably kept up-to-date: + +- Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) +- Traditional Chinese (zh-TW) +- French (fr) +- Japanese (ja) + +We are always looking for people to help us with these translations. If you are interested in getting involved, please [reach out to us](https://astro.build/chat) on Discord. + + +### Tier 2 Languages + +All other languages are considered **Tier 2**. Tier 2 language translations are driven by the community, with support from core maintainers. If you want to see the Astro docs site translated into a new language, then we need your help to kick off the project! + +If you are interested in getting involved, please [reach out to us](https://astro.build/chat) on Discord. |
