Translation of the "How to Contribute to Numpy" comic

[MarsBarLee]

Hi all, this is a tracking isuse on translating the "How to Contribute to Numpy" comic.

These comics aim to show newcomers that NumPy is driven by people who use it: in this case, scientists! These comics will show grad students finding a usability problem in NumPy, working together to submit an issue, and talking to community members.
Here's a link to the comic.

This is following similar efforts to translate the NumPy documentation at #55

Timeline

I will be able to help with translation after December, since I am finishing up the comic before then.

Languages

• We'll probably start with a Portuguese translation.
• @Joao-antonio-gg expressed interest in translating the comics to Portuguese in a previous issue about the comics
• I welcome other languages as well! Just comment here with your interest and language.

Process

• Translate the English script into the target language (note: this is not the final script but close to final)
• Review the translation
• Update the text in a graphics editor (such as GIMP, Inkscape or Krita)
• Review the typesetting (does the translated text fit in the speech bubbles?)
• Release translated comic

Items:

• Comic script in English
• Comic pages with blank speech bubbles
• Comic script in target language
• Comic pages with target language

Hello! Sorry for the delay, but I just translated and reviewed the script. Can I send a PR for it?

[MarsBarLee]

@Joao-antonio-gg No worries on the delay! Thank you for making the translation!

For sharing the Portuguese script, you could either:

• share it in this Github thread
• make a PR of the script as a Markdown file in the comic repo here, into the translation folder: https://github.com/MarsBarLee/gsod-numpy-2023

The next steps are to:

• review the Portuguese script.
• typeset the Portuguese script into the comic pages. This could be done in a graphics editor (such as GIMP, Inkscape or Krita). I am also considering writing a .PO file to programmatically manipulate and update the graphic editor so that the typesetting process is less manual.
