DOCUMENTATION

Documentation and translation

Make guides and explanations clear in every language of the site: English, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German.

Why it matters

A correct command is useless if its prerequisites are hidden. This track covers setup guides, consistent terminology, clear descriptions and keeping every translation in step with the English source.

Time and a first task

Plan for about four hours a week. A first 30-minute step: compare one page of this website in English and in another language, find a mismatch or an unclear term, and propose a fix with both wordings.

Good first issues. If none fits, describe the page and what to improve in a new issue.

Keep the meaning, not just the words

  • Keep planned and finished work apart.
  • Do not turn a goal into a result, or a metric into a clinical claim.
  • Medical terms are checked by a clinician.
  • Legal wording and the mandatory research-use-only notice must not be rewritten freely.
