It's better to write to the appropriate mailing list, instead of to some
arbitrary doc contributors.  Thus, I'm forwarding to this mailing list.

Note that trying to tackle a new translation is a lot of work (really!),
and while there is <https://svn.php.net/viewvc/phpdoc/fa/>, this is
likely so outdated that this would be like a new translation.  I suggest
that you create a new translation repository as a fork of
<https://github.com/php/doc-en> (there is no *need* to have your repo on
Github), and then start with the translation, trying to get other
contributors interested in this to help.  When you get to the point
where at least the most relevant pages (maybe around 10%) have been
translated to Farsi, write to the list so that the repository can be
moved to <https://github.com/php/doc-fa> and integrated to the PHP
manual.  Note though, that an initial translation needs to be
maintained; mostly kept up to date, but also extended with new page
translations.

Best of luck!
