Translations are welcome

[jwasham]

For those looking to add translated versions, go ahead and do so (using the Chinese translation as an example), and make a pull request.

Please keep your translation updated as the English version changes over time.

Thank you!

Thank you @moinshaikh Please add a translation as a separate file, similar to README-cn.md. Then link to it in the translations section in README.md

Would love to start translating to Hebrew, עברית Shall I begin with the README.md file? Thanks you are an inspiration for my own journey.

[jwasham]

Thanks @YanaBe
Yes: start a new readme, and open an issue as above if anyone wants to help.
Cheers!

[jwasham]

To keep it organized, I added a translations directory. Please put new translation README files there.

I'll migrate the existing translations when they are ready.

To start a new translation, please:

1. Make an issue (for collaboration with other translators)
2. Make a pull request to collaborate and commit to.
3. Let me know when it's ready to pull.

Thank you!

[ipylypiv]

I think it is a good idea to put note for all translations that you need to learn English to become Software Engineer at Google.

[jwasham]

@ipylypiv in the US, yes, but Google is worldwide.

[ipylypiv]

@jwasham It is not about the location. It is about the ecosystem where you will work.
I cannot imagine top-level Software Engineer who don't know English.

Along with tech skills, every Software Engineer must show good soft skills.
Main soft skill is communication (inside team, with management, with customers, etc.)
A friend of mine (born and lived in Ukraine) recently joined Google in Sweden. He don't know a word in Swedish. How can he communicate with others? What about distributed teams between countries?
So it is clear that internal language of top tech companies is English regardless of their locations.

Tech skills are also affected... there are tons of information in English only. Really, imagine that you cannot read comments in the code, documentation, API specification, man page, stackoverflow questions, etc. without translation.
What if you need to review the code where variable names are translated and transliterated into Arabic, Chinese, Ukrainian, etc. ?
For example: variable name "counter". In Ukrainian it will be "лічильник". But we cannot use Cyrillic characters in most of the programming languages, so we need to transliterate it to "lichylnyk" which means nothing to people who don't know Ukrainian language.

If you don't know English your communication ability is a red flag.

[santosomichael]

I would like to help on Indonesian translate, where I could start to contribute? Can't find the 'README-in.md' anywhere on master. (I'm a newbie)

[jwasham]

@santosomichael you went to the right place: #101
There is work in progress here: #100

[denizyilmazok]

@jwasham can we make little additions to make it more understandable ? Because when you write

(self-taught,no CS degree)

in Turkish, it is not meaning meaningful. To make it meaningful in Turkish, I need give info about you and what have you done.

[jwasham]

@denizyilmazok Feel free to edit for your translation needs. Thank you!
