I’m starting to work on revitalizing the German translation for the official Python documentation.
Since the previous translation effort was done quite a while ago and the old repository was inactive, I am beginning with a fresh setup in my fork at https://github.com/sba72/python-docs-de to ensure all terms and structures align with current CPython standards.
If anyone is interested in contributing, reviewing, or discussing terminology, feel free to join in! I’m also active in the #translations channel on the official Python Discord.
Looking forward to collaborating with the community!
You can find the repository in my account (see link above). To contribute, please create a fork of this repository, push your changes to your fork, and then open a pull request.
I am working on version 3.14. You can recognize the translated .po files by their timestamps: all newer ones have been translated by me, while the rest are still untranslated. My main focus is on the /tutorial first, followed by /installation. Later, we will need the /library.
Currently, I work on /tutorial/controlflow.po and /library.string.po.
Feel free to start with whatever you like—just send me a quick note beforehand to avoid double work.
Please submit pull requests only for fully translated .po files, and make sure to follow the style guides and guidelines from the Python organization. Also, for a consistent German translation, we are using the informal “du” instead of “Sie”.
Let me know if you have any questions or ideas!
Welcome aboard! Let’s get started on the German translation! Regards, Swen!
Wonderful! For a first test, I try to translate “installing/index.po” and send a pull request to you. If it fit your expectations, perfect! If not please give me hints to improve my translation!
