Translations for the Chef training material

Hi :slight_smile:

First of all, thanks to the Opscode guys for the training material is
really awesome :slight_smile:

I was talking with some spaniards interested on Chef and we are
interested on translate this material.
Is there any plan or prefer way to do that?

I mean, we just fork the project and do our translations or are the
Opscode guys planning to make a per-language branches or similar
approach so people can contribute on?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Awesome! err... ¡Maravilloso!

There is now!

It seems like creating per-langauge branches makes sense. How have other projects successfully managed this?

Another way to do it is crating directories per-language at the same
branch as ProGit Book does:

I'm not sure the better way, both was has their pros and cons.

It seems that directories per-language is a more straightforward
approach. Multiple branches for languages would drift quickly, by
keeping the languages in subdirectories it would be readily apparent
what's available and updating images and the like would get picked up
automatically without having to merge.

So... Any decision on this matter?

Branches or directories? what do you like more?
Even if you can't change the repo yet, if the people know the way choosen,
they can be working in their own repos and then merge the changes you will
need to do.

Thanks for the documentation btw. Good stuff :slight_smile:
