Contributing

Embrace the open-source spirit of Dojo. As it's in its nascent phase, we welcome contributors with open arms.

Peruse our contributing guidelines. From minor wording adjustments to extensive chapters, every contribution matters!

Setup

1. Rust-related Packages:
   • Obtain the cargo toolchain via rustup.
   • Get mdBook and its translation extension with the command: cargo install mdbook mdbook-i18n-helpers
2. Host Machine Packages:
   • To assist with translations, install gettext. It's typically accessible via most package managers. Use: sudo apt install gettext.
3. Clone this repository to get started.

Working Locally (English - Primary Language)

Always edit Markdown files in English. Here's how to work on it:

• Spin up a local server using mdbook serve. Navigate to localhost:3000. For an automated browser launch, append the --open flag: mdbook serve --open.
• Modify the content as desired. Refresh your browser to review edits.
• Ready to share? Open a PR with your enhancements.

Working Locally (Translations)

Catering to a global audience, we aspire for multilingual content.

Note: Ensure all files in the src directory are in English, facilitating automated generation and updates of translation files.

For translation tasks:

• Start a local server for a specific language, e.g., ./translations.sh es. Without specifying a language, the script defaults to extracting English translations.
• Focus on the relevant translation file, such as po/es.po. Tools like poedit can make this task easier.
• Conclude your session with changes only in the po/xx.po file. Commit and open a PR. Ensure the PR begins with i18n to signal it involves translation.

This translation model draws inspiration from the Comprehensive Rust repository.

Starting a New Language Translation

If initiating a new language translation without a local server:

• Use ./translations.sh new xx, replacing xx with your language code. This command spawns the xx.po file for your language.
• Update your xx.po file with ./translations.sh xx (swap xx with your language code), as detailed above.
• For pre-existing xx.po files, refrain from using the new command.
