| Translating the Tour |
| |
| A Tour of Go is a Go program that runs as a stand-alone web server or |
| an App Engine app. The version available at tour.golang.org is run from |
| App Engine. There are several localized versions of the tour, such as |
| this Chinese translation, also running on App Engine: |
| |
| http://go-tour-zh.appspot.com |
| |
| The Tour contains a slide named "Go local", which lists several of |
| these translations. If you are a native speaker of a language not on |
| that list and have some experience with Go, please consider providing |
| a translation of the Tour in your own language. |
| |
| To translate the tour: |
| |
| 1. Translate the files in content/ |
| 2. Provide localized version for the UI strings in static/js/values.js |
| 3. Sign up to App Engine and create an app named go-tour-LL, |
| where LL is the two-letter country code that applies best |
| to your chosen language. (This shouldn't cost you anything; |
| the Tour App usually runs inside App Engine's free quota.) |
| 4. Deploy your version of the Tour to that app. |
| 5. Announce to golang-nuts@googlegroups.com |
| |
| The Tour content changes occasionally, and you should keep your |
| translation up to date. To follow the development of the tour, |
| subscribe to the go-tour-commits mailing list: |
| |
| https://groups.google.com/group/go-tour-commits |
| |
| All new commits to the go-tour repository are mailed there. |
| |
| Finally, if you have any questions about the Tour or Go, |
| please mail golang-nuts@googlegroups.com. |
