Translation in Japanese about electronjs.org-old

[kevinsawicki]

/cc @jlord it would be great to figure out a way to support translated docs on the site

[sotayamashita]

@keithduncan In Github OSS projects, is there any project which has translated docs ?

[thedaniel]

My biggest concern is maintenance - it would be a shame if only the English docs stayed up-to-date.

[sotayamashita]

@thedaniel I also think I want to avoid confusing.

@sotayamashita—@kevinsawicki mentioned in conversation that perhaps having some guides translated would be good because they'll change less than API docs.

What would be your top picks from the docs to be translated?

I got it.

What would be your top picks from the docs to be translated?

I think these guides should be translated first below:

• Using native Node modules
• Debugging the main process

I also want to translate some tutorials. If there is Japanese one, they can get started with it easily.

[sotayamashita]

@jlord What do you think?

[jlord]

@sotayamashita I think that sounds great!

I'm currently working on having the documentation on the site here, but it will all be sourced from the docs directory in atom/electron. Whenever you're ready you could start a PR for those tutorials over on that repo ✨

OK. I got it.

By the way, How should I translate ? Should I create a directory like docs-ja under atom/electron?

[jlord]

@sotayamashita We'll want to keep everything within the docs directory in atom/electron because that's what we pull out for the website. I think actually just creating a duplicate markdown file of the english one would be fine. Like so:

# original 
docs/tutorial/using-native-node-modules.md
# translated 
docs/tutorial/using-native-node-modules-jp.md

How does that sound? Then we'll add a link to the English version letting people know there is a translated option as well.

@jlord

Sound good. I am going to start to translate docs. Thanks for everything.

Awesome! Will close it here and we'll use the atom/electron issue now 👍
