Translate English documents into Korean

[marload]

Hello, Numpy Team

I am a machine learning engineer in Korea. The Numpy project is also very popular in Korea. However, it seems that the document has not been translated yet. Can I translate the document?

Thank you.

Hi, @marload! Indeed, the latest analysis of the traffic to numpy.org showed that the project is very popular in your country. What documents are you interested to translate? We are about to launch the inaugural NumPy community survey and would love to make it available to the Korean-speaking users and developers. The English version of the survey can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M-niFpAMEjLPNFUA2RLgi_p2ykoDlzSlFyUaoDEDOLc/edit?usp=sharing
If it is something you would be interested to take on, please contact me at inessa at albuscode.org for further details.

@InessaPawson
Thanks for replying. I don't think I can access albuscode.org for now.
I want to translate all Numpy documents starting with Tutorial. Is there anyone who will manage Korean documents among Numpy members?

Not yet, as far as I know. One of our Docs team members will contact you shortly.

Thank you. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, @marload! Thanks for your interest. Unfortunately, it would be hard for our documentation team to keep track (and even review) translations of the NumPy documentation. If you are interested in translating some docs and maintaining them yourself, you can. In that case, you might consider submitting a link to the translated docs to the numpy.org website :)

I do think that it is possible to do translations for the website, though. So maybe that's a place to start?

Cheers!

Hi @marload, we are actively interested in translations and plan to start with the website. That's a lot more tractable than all docs. I plan to come back to this on the weekend (when there's the SciPy'20 sprint). If you would like to help out, we can make Korean one of the first languages to support on numpy.org (the other planned one being Mandarin).

@rgommers

Thank you for your reply. As you said, we started with website translation. How should I proceed?

[rgommers]

Can you please give me till Saturday, I'll finalize Crowdin, re-enable the languages dropdown in the master branch of this repo and set it up so we can get started. gh-55 is related

[rgommers]

Hi @marload, I just sent you an invite for Crowdin on the Gmail address listed on your GitHub profile. If you did not receive it, please let me know. Everything is set up in Crowdin, so you're good to start. If you run into any unexpected issues, please bring them up here.

I will set up a wiki page (borrowing from Spyder, who have been using Crowdin for a while) about translations.

@rgommers
I started translating and starting with About Us!

[rgommers]

Thanks @marload! I'm fighting with my system to install some Korean fonts to see the results - not that I can read it, but still want to see:)

[rgommers]

Three files down:) Is it all working well for you @marload? If so, I'm thinking about asking for volunteers on the mailing list so we can get through all of Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish and Portuguese pretty quickly (hopefully).

Dear all,

I am interested in continuing this translation.

Could you kindly please remind me about necessary steps?

Hope this helps

Thanks @kangwonlee. Please follow the instructions here, https://scientific-python-translations.github.io/translate/, and then we can add you to projects in the Scientific Python Crowdin organization.

Korean translations of the numpy.org website are essentially complete and just in need of proofreading and some minor updates. Also, if you're interested, there are other websites for Scientific Python core projects in need of translation as well.

@steppi

Thanks for the quick response.
I also could see that most of the pages (98%) already done. (Thanks to @marload & everyone participated)

I went though the instructions :

• created an Enterprise account
• joined discord

Students who take one of my courses seem to understandably experience difficulty with the language barrier on how to use NumPy/SciPy functions.

I'm planning to seek help from an LLM REST API to assist with proofreading. I hope it can improve, for example, consistency.

Also if you have NumPy / SciPy projects in need of translation to Korean, where my help would be most valuable?

Please let me know any particular concerns you have.

Looking forward to contributing.

Thanks @kangwonlee. I just want to confirm that your Crowdin username is the same as your GitHub handle. I can add you to the projects for NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, NetworkX, XArray and Zarr, and you can pick what you are most interested in. Translating any of them would be helpful.

[kangwonlee]

@steppi I confirmed that my Crowding username is the same as my Github handle. Thanks & best wishes.
