Supposed to link to a page helping to choose a server on any network (just an idea, for now)

### [Setup](#setup)
2018-03-22 02:48:05 +00:00
1. Run `npm install` in main project's folder

### [Translating](#translating)
2018-03-22 02:48:05 +00:00
2018-06-04 00:51:51 +00:00
Maintaining several website translations will require extra work. Please, read [discussion ](https://gitlab.com/fediverse/fediverse.gitlab.io/issues/9 ).
2018-03-22 02:48:05 +00:00
Adding another language requires additions to `_config` file and `/themes/starter/languages` folder.
Mandatory for translating:
- create lang folder (`/source/*lang*`)
- common strings (`/themes/starter/languages/en`)
2018-12-31 18:45:18 +00:00
- `/source/_data` folder: fediverse.json, world.json
2018-03-22 02:48:05 +00:00

Translating Chronicles and Knowledge page content doesn't make sense (?). They will be mostly a collection of external English articles. If you're willing to become a permanent news contributor in another language and to search for Fediverse news in that language, let's discuss it in the issue.
