### Translating the Transformers documentation into your language
# Translating the Transformers documentation into your language
As part of our mission to democratize machine learning, we'd love to make the Transformers library available in many more languages! Follow the steps below if you want to help translate the documentation into your language 🙏.

**🗞️ Open an issue**
## Open an Issue
To get started, navigate to the [Issues](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues) page of this repo and check if anyone else has opened an issue for your language. If not, open a new issue by selecting the "Translation template" from the "New issue" button.
1. Navigate to the Issues page of this repository.
2. Check if anyone has already opened an issue for your language.
3. If not, create a new issue by selecting the "Translation template" from the "New issue" button.
4. Post a comment indicating which chapters youd like to work on, and well add your name to the list.
Once an issue exists, post a comment to indicate which chapters you'd like to work on, and we'll add your name to the list.
## Fork the Repository
1. First, fork the Transformers repo by clicking the Fork button in the top-right corner.
2. Clone your fork to your local machine for editing with the following command:
**🍴 Fork the repository**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/transformers.git
```
First, you'll need to [fork the Transformers repo](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo). You can do this by clicking on the **Fork** button on the top-right corner of this repo's page.
Replace `YOUR-USERNAME` with your GitHub username.
Once you've forked the repo, you'll want to get the files on your local machine for editing. You can do that by cloning the fork with Git as follows:
## Copy-paste the English version with a new language code
```bash
git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/transformers.git
```
The documentation files are organized in the following directory:
**📋 Copy-paste the English version with a new language code**
- **docs/source**: This contains all documentation materials organized by language.
The documentation files are in one leading directory:
To copy the English version to your new language directory:
- [`docs/source`](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/main/docs/source): All the documentation materials are organized here by language.
1. Navigate to your fork of the repository:
You'll only need to copy the files in the [`docs/source/en`](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/main/docs/source/en) directory, so first navigate to your fork of the repo and run the following:
```bash
cd ~/path/to/transformers/docs
```
```bash
cd ~/path/to/transformers/docs
cp -r source/en source/LANG-ID
```
Replace `~/path/to` with your actual path.
Here, `LANG-ID` should be one of the ISO 639-1 or ISO 639-2 language codes -- see [here](https://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php) for a handy table.
2. Run the following command:
**✍️ Start translating**
```bash
cp -r source/en source/LANG-ID
```
The fun part comes - translating the text!
Replace `LANG-ID` with the appropriate ISO 639-1 or ISO 639-2 language code (see [this table](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) for reference).
The first thing we recommend is translating the part of the `_toctree.yml` file that corresponds to your doc chapter. This file is used to render the table of contents on the website.
## Start translating
> 🙋 If the `_toctree.yml` file doesn't yet exist for your language, you can create one by copy-pasting from the English version and deleting the sections unrelated to your chapter. Just make sure it exists in the `docs/source/LANG-ID/` directory!
Begin translating the text!
The fields you should add are `local` (with the name of the file containing the translation; e.g. `autoclass_tutorial`), and `title` (with the title of the doc in your language; e.g. `Load pretrained instances with an AutoClass`) -- as a reference, here is the `_toctree.yml` for [English](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/docs/source/en/_toctree.yml):
1. Start with the `_toctree.yml` file that corresponds to your documentation chapter. This file is essential for rendering the table of contents on the website.
```yaml
- sections:
- local: pipeline_tutorial # Do not change this! Use the same name for your .md file
title: Pipelines for inference # Translate this!
...
title: Tutorials # Translate this!
```
- If the `_toctree.yml` file doesnt exist for your language, create one by copying the English version and removing unrelated sections.
- Ensure it is placed in the `docs/source/LANG-ID/` directory.
Once you have translated the `_toctree.yml` file, you can start translating the [MDX](https://mdxjs.com/) files associated with your docs chapter.
Heres an example structure for the `_toctree.yml` file:
> 🙋 If you'd like others to help you with the translation, you should [open an issue](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues) and tag @stevhliu.
```yaml
- sections:
- local: pipeline_tutorial # Keep this name for your .md file
title: Pipelines for Inference # Translate this
...
title: Tutorials # Translate this
```
2. Once youve translated the `_toctree.yml`, move on to translating the associated MDX files.
## Collaborate and share
If you'd like assistance with your translation, open an issue and tag `@stevhliu`. Feel free to share resources or glossaries to ensure consistent terminology.
