Hi all,=0A=
=0A=
I'd like to start contributing to the Chinese (zh) translation of the LilyP=
ond documentation, and wanted to check in here first as suggested in the Co=
ntributor's Guide before doing any large amount of work.=0A=
=0A=
I looked through the current Documentation/po/zh.po and the existing zh/ tr=
anslated files, and it looks like translation coverage is quite low overall=
 (roughly 11% of strings in zh.po), with the Learning Manual and Notation R=
eference in particular still mostly untranslated, while the Music Glossary =
is already about halfway done.=0A=
=0A=
I'd like to start by working on the Learning Manual, since it's the entry p=
oint for new users and currently has the most room for impact. Before I beg=
in, I wanted to ask:=0A=
=0A=
- Is anyone else currently working on the zh translation, particularly the =
Learning Manual or Music Glossary, so we don't duplicate effort?=0A=
- Is there a preferred place to track progress or coordinate (a language-sp=
ecific list, an issue, etc.)?=0A=
=0A=
I've already set up my GitLab account/fork (username: himountgeorge) and go=
ne through the Contributor's Guide sections on cloning/forking and the tran=
slation workflow, so I should be ready to submit patches once I know where =
to start.=0A=
=0A=
Thanks,=0A=
