Well done! Tom, I don't know if you remember me, but we did our instructor training together in Melbourne. Now I'm also helping translating the lessons into Spanish, would be nice if we can have a chat about what works best to manage the team of translators.
All the best with the project! -Paula On Fri, 26 Oct 2018 at 13:17, Tom Kelly <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > みなさん、こんにちは！ > > I’ve recently started a GitHub repo to attempt a group effort to translate > the Software Carpentry core lessons into Japanese.
