I love this @StanFromIreland. Thoughtfully written and a lovely addition. I suggest you share in the core dispatch newsletter.

This would be great content to add to the PSF website as well @JacobCoffee.

The Python documentation is written in English, but Python is taught, learned,
and used around the world, in many languages. English is the native language

In my opinion motivation section could/should go without a section heading first in Translating chapter, Overview could/should go as the second, and current intro text as third with Project status section heading.

This would be more natural and engaging to read for an average devguide reader.

I like the added text very much!
