Contributing

`crowbook` is a free software, and you can contribute to it. There are some things that can be accessible even if you don’t know anything about programming.

## 9.1. Internationalization

`crowbook` aims to support multiple languages. However, unfortunately, currently only English, French, and (in a more limited way) Spanish are currently supported. If you want to have better support for the language you write in, there are easy things you can do:

- Provide a translation for the few strings that Crowbook insert into the rendered documents. This is really easy, as there are currently less than a dozen of them, and you just need to create a new variant of the `./lang/en.yaml` file.

- Open an issue about the typographic rules in your language, if `crowbook` doesn’t cover them.

- Provide a translation for the `crowbook` program. It requires creating a variant of the `.po` file, which is a bit more work because (at this time) it’s around 1,500 lines (and less a priority than the first item of this list, as this translation only affects the the command-line interface and not the rendered documents).
