A call for volunteers !
Joining the Translation team as a Translator @/e/ or even making casual contributions to Support topics can be a very satisfying way of learning about /e/ and to help others.
Here is https://doc.e.foundation/how-to-use-weblate
To Do, translate it !
The French Support topics page today ! https://doc.e.foundation/fr/support-topics
Getting started
This is the Front page of the /e/ foundation Weblate: https://i18n.e.foundation/ editable once you register, following the guidance above.
If you are interested in contributing to the Support topics please go to the Projects tab and select /e/ support center.
From /e/ support centre press the tab for Languages and click your language.
This takes you to pages currently in progress. This would be the place to start.

Work should be fairly intuitive - just go for it! As you learn, you will see that you can easily delete any of your own early foolish mistakes. Once past the self-learning stage here is the Weblate manual https://docs.weblate.org/en/latest/
If you search Ctrl + F within https://i18n.e.foundation/projects/e-support-center/ for Pages/Support_Topics (I got 34 matches today) you would hope to be able to start further translations. To do help has been requested - how to advise users who meet
Let’s take a specific example:
If you search Ctrl + F within https://i18n.e.foundation/projects/e-support-center/
for Web_Late takes me to
https://i18n.e.foundation/projects/e-support-center/pagessupport_topicsthe_community_forum_git_lab_web_late/
To do, I have asked for help how to deal with "Permission Denied Insufficient privileges to display this page.
To do, Try to provide a navigation aid to show where Weblate pages fit into https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics.
In the meantime, please remember, you do not have to think too much of context, when you get started; Weblate only wants a translation (as would be done by a machine !).
Mistakes as_you_learn are very easily deleted; they are only saved as suggestions.
Please pm me with any errors or omissions ! I am aware links can be diverted to “your own language” by your browser. I tried to avoid them, please tell me of any that do not work.
This post was inspired by Création d’un Guide « eOS pour les Nuls » currently the only source of Support topics in French !
