Translate the manual
You can translate the manual in your language on the Koha translate website
You can review your changes in the nightly rebuilt (Argentina) manuals found here: Manuals for translators
Let us know if you want to add a new language.
Add translated screenshots
To add translated screenshots you can create pull request on the koha-manual project The files have to be named like: file.LANG.png.
For instance source/images/installer/installer_login.fr.png would be the French version of source/images/installer/installer_login.png
Tips and Tricks
References
Some strings can contain links to other sections of the manual. When you find a string that has a label, for example ":ref:`Currencies and Exchange Rates <currencies-and-exchange-rates-label>`, the string between "<...>" must not be translated, it contains a 'label' for cross references.
Example:
the default you set in your :ref:`Currencies and Exchange Rates` administration area
:ref:`Currencies and Exchange Rates` implies that there is a section/subsection named "Currencies and Exchange Rates" with or without a label somewhere in the manual.
If you translate both then the labelling will be consistent, if not you may have a warning on build time. So it should be translated as:
il default che definisci nell'area dell'ammistrazione :ref:`Valute e tassi di cambio`
Image names
Don't translate the strings appearing between pipes (|) in the manual, as it will break the display of screenshots in the manual.
