About the website, we have two types of resources to translate: wml 
files (these are similar to HTML files, but sometimes they include 
definitions or pieces of code), and .po files (you can use a PO editor 
to translate them, for example, POEdit).

You can start with the .po files, the Albanian ones are located here:

https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/-/tree/master/albanian/po

You can also translate the homepage, the original English is here:

https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/-/blob/master/english/index.wml

If you are familiarised with Git, I recommend to clone the webwml repo 
and commit your translations in your local clone, and provide them via a 
merge request CC'ing the Albanian Language mailing list ( 
https://lists.debian.org/debian-l10n-albanian/ ).

A more detailed description of how the website works and how to work 
with it is here: https://www.debian.org/devel/website/

But that could be a bit overwhelming for starting, or maybe you are not 
familiarised with git, in that case I would recommend that you download 
the .po files and the index.wml file from the links that I provided to 
your computer, translate them, and send them by mail to the public list 
[email protected] (CC'ing 
[email protected] for the case there is another 
translator around that can proofread).

Don't hesitate to contact the web team in our public list 
[email protected] or our IRC channel #debian-www with any 
question or comment about translating the website.

Thanks!

Kind regards,
