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. |
