Hi Adalberto, We don't have any foreign language translations of the documentation at this time. One fear I have is that the translated documentation will quickly become out-of-date. For example, if you translate the docs now, do you think you'll also be around to translate the docs for future releases?
My fear is based on what happened with a similar effort in the Apache Hadoop project. At one point in late 2008, some contributors stepped up to translate the documentation into Chinese. Then by mid 2011, the documentation had seen no maintenance and was causing confusion -- Chinese users were reading the documentation for old versions which contained information that was not accurate for the versions that had been released in recent years. We ended up removing the translated documentation at that point. I won't veto the contribution, but would be interested to hear what other developers in the community think about this. If the goal is to increase adoption of Kudu in Brazil, maybe another way to help would be to write a Brazilian Portuguese tutorial/introduction blog post? Or give some talks at local meetups and user groups? I presented once at SouJava and found the audience was really great. Maybe we can get in touch with the organizers to propose a session?
