A repo for handling localized versions of the TypeScript website content

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-Website-Localizationscd TypeScript-Website-Localizations# Setupyarn# Optional: Grab the English files to make translation easieryarn pull-en# Optional: Verify your changes will correctly replace the english filesyarn lint# Alternative: Run the lint watcheryarn lint --watch

That's it, you've got a copy of all the documentation and now can write documentation which follows the existing patterns. There's a longer introinwelcome.md.

The TypeScript website handles translations by having language specific files with matching filepaths:

E.g:/packages/documentation/copy/en/reference/JSX.md

Has existing translations in different languages:

/packages/documentation/copy/id/reference/JSX.md/packages/documentation/copy/ja/reference/JSX.md/packages/documentation/copy/pt/reference/JSX.md

Same path, just switcheden forid,ja &pt.

This repo contains all of the non-English locale files. It means you can clone and translate without all the infrastructure overhead of the pretty complex TypeScript-Website.

For example if you wanted to translate a new handbook page you would:

• Clone this repo (see above)
• Pull in the English filesyarn pull-en (these will be gitignored)
• Find your english file:docs/documentation/en/handbook-v2/Basics.md
• Recreate the same folder path in your language:docs/documentation/it/handbook-v2/Basics.md
• Translate the file!
• Validate your changes:yarn lint (oryarn lint docs/documentation/it/handbook-v2/Basics.md)
• Create a pull request to this repo
• Once merged, the translation will appear on the next website deploy

When a new language is created, we ask for a few people to become language owners. These owners are able to merge pull requests to files in their language viacode-owner-self-merge in a pull request. They will be pinged on PRs which affect them, you can see the flow in PRs likethis orthis.

The TypeScript team generally only know English, and can answer clarifying questions if needed! For quick questions, you can use thets-website-translation channel in theTypeScript Discord.

This repo has extensive CI to ensure that you can't accidentally break the TypeScript website.

There are local, fast checks that it won't break viayarn test and then the full TypeScript website test suite runs with the changes, and a website build is generated to ensure that nothing breaks.

The checks may not seem obvious to an outsider, because the website is complex, so there is a watch mode which you can run viayarn link --watch to get instant feedback.
