We are reaching out to the community to ask for your help with translating our Libre Space Manifesto.
We feel that the version of the text is stable enough after some iterations based on community feedback, and we would like to proceed with a first pass on translations specifically to make the Manifesto available on 6 languages to start with: Arabic, Chinese, French, English, Russian and Spanish.
How can I help?
Are you a native speaker in one of those languages? Great!
Head over to Zanata, create an account, post your username here so we can add you as a translator and start translating!
What are those weird symbols? (**, ----, *** ) in the translation files?
Those are markdown formatting symbols. Please keep them intact (copy them over) from the original strings. Same applies for spaces
When will my translations be online?
We will be reviewing formatting and pushing translations online on a weekly basis.
Why no additional languages?
We will be trying the community translations on 6 key languages (UN-style) and based on feedback/available translators and needed UI changes we will be opening up translation opportunities for many more languages.
Any additional questions? Please reply to this topic!
Am I the only one that can’t use the online Zanata editor? I tried both Firefox and Chromium, can’t click on any of the strings (neither on the standard nor the alpha editor). I also tried the Enter keyboard shortcut, without success
Indeed, my bad! Users need to be added as translators I have added @astrojuanlu and @concretedog . Please post here your usernames so I can add you if you want to help!
So cool, ok I have registered as redsharpbyte on Zanata.
I will work on French Because I know how to say “Voulez-vous manger avec moi ?!” since I can speak.

sustentabilidade, abertura e igualdade desses esforços para toda a humanidade.
Para isso, comprometemo-nos a aderir aos seguintes:
PrincĂpios
Todas as pessoas terĂŁo o direito de explorar e usar o espaço sideral em benefĂcio e no interesse de toda a humanidade.

O espaço exterior deve ser usado exclusivamente para fins pacĂficos.
O lucro não deve ser a força motriz da exploração espacial.
Todas as pessoas devem ter acesso ao espaço sideral, tecnologias espaciais e dados espaciais.
Para realizar esses princĂpios, precisamos seguir os seguintes:
Pilares
CĂłdigo aberto
Todas as tecnologias desenvolvidas para o espaço sideral devem ser publicadas e licenciadas usando licenças de código aberto.

I would like to help translating to Spanish. My username in zanata is yn1v
Please add me to translators if there is still need for Spanish translation.
The original literary work is diamond. Its translation is glass.
(Japanese saying)
It is humanity’s opportunity to explore, develop, use, and thrive differently. A way to ensure the longevity, sustainability, openness, equality of those efforts for all humanity.
Can this paragraph of the text be explained? Literal translation into Russian is very bad. Because do not understand the meaning
Humanity (as in “all people”) has a possible way to do explorations, development and use of technology in a different way than it is done right now.
This “different possible way” (the open one towards space, the “opportunity”) is the means/way (i know… it is repetitive) to make sure that “explorations, developments and use of technology” will be long-lived, sustainable, open and equal for all.
This is the intro to the manifesto, which sets up the stage for what is possible.
Let us know if there is more analysis needed, or point me to the specific word/phrase/sentence that seems off.
I would like to translate the manifesto to Urdu Language. Urdu is a major language of the Indian Sub-continent. It is spoken by over 100 million people. Seeing as there are many engineers who like participating in open source for this region, including this language will be a great start. I request the project moderators to add this language. I have signed up for zanata and my username is shah78677.
Because I know how to say “Voulez-vous manger avec moi ?!” since I can speak.
