Hi David, I'm currently based in Japan and looking into a Japanese translation of the core SWC lessons. We'd likely start with R since I know the R community in Tokyo fairly well. It depends on whether we can recruit enough willing translators to get started but I think it would help the community here and make running workshops in Japan in the future a lot easier (as the Spanish lessons have benefited other countries).
I'd anticipate similar issues to come up with maintaining a Japanese version of the lessons. It would be great to hear from the experiences of others doing Spanish (or French) versions of the lessons. If you don't mind, we would likely take a similar approach to you if we get the Japanese team off the ground (it's still very early days).
