Hi Tom, My Japanese is very basic, but I thought I might be able to make some small contributions.
Did you turn off the https://github.com/swcarpentry-ja/i18n issue tracker deliberately? I was going to log a couple of minor issues where a pull request was not appropriate. For example standardising the Language-Team tag in the po files, which have a mix including this placeholder and a trace of the Spanish translations: "Language-Team: LANGUAGE <[email protected]>\n" Also, there is an inconsistency in ja and jp in the po filenames, e.g. git-novice.jp.po and git-novice.ja.po Peter Peter On Fri, Oct 26, 2018 at 12:17 PM 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.
