Yeah I’m starting to have conflicting ideas about this. On the one hand the
reader still needs to learn a decent amount of English to have a better
idea of what the standard library’s structs/classes/functions do, so might
as well keep all the code in English. On the other hand, they don’t have to
This sounds like a good idea, especially for the second benefit. I’m just gonna
keep translating text for now, but I'll have to think of a solution for that
later.
Something else: I’ve been translating most parts of the code, such as variable
and function names. The resulting code is a bit weir
Don’t mind at all! However, I did decide to go with a different strategy.
What I’ll try to do now is extract the content (mostly HTML) out of the
English ePub, do translation work directly on it, and finally re-package
the content into an ePub (generate-epub.sh).
The benefits of this approach:

Sounds like a great approach. In any case, I guess the important part is
actually writing the translation - the resulting format is only relevant once
there is actual text to use with it.
I’m creating a repo for a Portuguese (Brazil) translation:

I just started to look into this myself since I’m interested in doing the
Spanish translation. The first approach I’ll be trying is doing everything
in Markdown and compile it to ePub using Pandoc.
Based on this article http://nshipster.com/colophon/ , Pandoc may be a bit
painful to use, but I’m o
I just saw a tweet from Chris Lattner talking about translating the Swift
Programming Language ebook. This is a project I’d be very interested in;
however, I don’t really know where to start.
Is there some kind of git repository, containing the original book, that I can
clone? If not, does some
