Let others know what you're translating, in message boards or chats in your language. Invite them to join!

🎉 Thank you!

Your name and the contribution size will appear in the "About project" page when the translation gets published.

P.S. The full list of languages can be found at https://javascript.info/translate.

Every chapter, an article or a task resides in its own folder.

The folder has one of files:

• index.md for a section,
• article.md for an article,
• task.md stands for a task (solution must be provided in solution.md file as well

Each of these files starts from the # Main header. It's very easy to add something new.

Additional resources and examples for the article or the task, are also in the same folder.

We'd like to make the tutorial available in many languages. Please help us to translate.

See https://javascript.info/translate for the details.

We'd also like to collaborate on the tutorial with other people.

Something's wrong? A topic is missing? Explain it to people, add it as PR 👏

You can edit the text in any editor. The tutorial uses an enhanced "markdown" format, easy to grasp. And if you want to see how it looks on-site, there's a server to run the tutorial locally at https://github.com/javascript-tutorial/server.

<<<<<<< HEAD Please keep line breaks and paragraphs "as is": don't add newlines and don't remove existing ones. Makes it easy to merge future changes from the English version into the translation.

Every chapter, article, or task has its folder.

The folder is named like N-url, where N is a number for the sorting purposes and URL is the URL part with the title of the material.

• Some specification terms are not to be translated, e.g. "Function Declaration" can be left "as is".
• For other terms like resolved promise, slash, regexp, and so on look a good glossary, hopefully there's one for your language already.
  • If there's no dictionary, look for translations in manuals, such as MDN.

• Translate comments.
• Translate user-messages and example strings.
• Don't translate variables, classes, identifiers.
• Ensure that the code works after the translation :)

Example:

// Example
const text = "Hello, world";
document.querySelector('.hello').innerHTML = text;

✅ DO (translate comment):

// Ejemplo
const text = 'Hola mundo';
document.querySelector('.hello').innerHTML = text;

❌ DON'T (translate class):

// Ejemplo
const text = 'Hola mundo';
// ".hello" is a class
// DO NOT TRANSLATE
document.querySelector('.hola').innerHTML = text;

If an external link is to Wikipedia, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript, and a version of that article exists in your language that is of decent quality, link to that version instead.

Example:

[JavaScript](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript) is a programming language.

✅ OK (en -> es):

[JavaScript](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript) es un lenguaje de programación.

For links to MDN, a partially translated version is ok.

If a linked article has no translated version, leave the link "as is".

Some files, usually tasks, have YAML metadata at the top, delimited by ---:

importance: 5

<<<<<<< HEAD
---
...

Please don't translate "importance" (and other top metadata).

Some headers have [#anchor] at the end, e.g.

## Spread operator [#spread-operator]

Please don't translate or remove the [#...] part, it's for URL anchors.

You can run the tutorial server locally to see how the translation looks.

The server and install instructions are at https://github.com/javascript-tutorial/server.
