The documentation is written in a markup language called "asciidoc"
and it is designed to be human-readable.

This raw text:

The best way to make and submit changes would be to create an account
on Github and then submit pull-requests.
The process would be a simplified version of what is documented here:
http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.8/html/code/contributing-to-linuxcnc.html#_overview_of_the_process
(There is no French version of that page, but there is a Spanish one)

It should be a plain-text file in Asciidoc format. Basically an edited
and corrected version of the file above.

Ideally you would submit the changes through the git system, but if
that seems too daunting then there are other options. However
submitting via git is the best way to retain autorship information and
change-control.

If you have a Github account then you can edit directly on the Github
web page, and create a pull-request. But that is rather unwieldy for
making more than minor changes.
