I'd like to contribute Dutch translations for the user guide. However, fom https://userguide_new-drupal.dev.devdrupal.org/guidelines/instructions.html I can't tell what my first step should exactly be. Create an '[NL] Translate' issue?

So how can I embark upon this?

DWB Internet created an issue. See original summary.

Hi there! Thanks for your interest. At the moment, we are testing and refining the process for translating, using Hungarian and Catalan as test cases. We had posted a notice in various places about wanting one or two language groups to test the process, and those two got organized and volunteered.

So, we should postpone this issue for a couple of weeks until we have decided our process is working, and then start up the Dutch translation. OK?

Thanks, Jennifer. I'll keep an eye on the issue queue.

Hi there!

The Catalan and Hungarian teams have been translating now for a while, and we think the process is ready to open up to other translation groups. And, we now have our Contributor Instructions up on drupal.org! The part about setting up for a new language is here:
https://www.drupal.org/docs/user_guide_guidelines/pm-guide.html#pm-guide...

Quoting from that page (with a couple of additions in [])... the first step for a new language is:

Each language the User Guide will be translated into will need a team, which should normally be formed from the existing [ https://localize.drupal.org ] translation team for the [Drupal] software. As a prerequisite, the translation team should have already translated a large portion of the terms in the [Drupal 8.x] software user interface into their language. Then, the team should choose a manager or managers for the User Guide translation project, and form a group specifically targeted at translating the User Guide.

So... Your first step would be to discuss on localize.drupal.org with the other existing members of the Dutch Drupal localization group, whether you are ready to translate the User Guide, and who wants to manage the translation team. When you make that decision, come on back here and we'll get the process started.

Thanks!
