<p>
The OpenBSD project strives to maintain many high <a href="goals.html">
standards</a>, one of them is to supply users with excellent documentation, in
the form of man pages and web pages.
</p>
<p>
Now we want to take this one step further and supply users with translated
versions of certain key docs into their native language.
</p>
<p>
The first step will be translating the most important web pages into common
languages. Next step will be adding INSTALL docs and introductory man pages.
</p>

<p>
As with all OpenBSD activity, this work is done by volunteers.

<h3><font color="#0000e0"><a name="HOW">How does it work?</a></font></h3>
<p>
The website consists of multiple subdirectories which we will call sections,
for each language there is an extra subdirectory in each section if a
translation exists. This subdirectory has a name that is the two-letter
<a href="http://lcweb.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html">ISO 639-1 language code</a>,
like 'es' for Spanish or 'de' for German. In that directory, we find files
with the same names as their original [en] version, only translated in the
correct language.
</p>
<p>
For example:
</p>
<pre>
www/index.html
www/goals.html
www/security.html
www/es/index.html
www/es/goals.html
www/faq/index.html
www/faq/es/index.html
</pre>
<p>
If <strong>www/es/index.html</strong> links to a translated page
<strong>goals.html</strong>, it points to <strong>www/es/goals.html</strong>.
If <strong>security.html</strong> is not (yet) translated, it should link
to <strong>../security.html</strong>, and points to
<strong>www/security.html</strong>.
</p>
<p>
We will also maintain in each translated and original [en] file a
series of links to the translated pages. These links should be sorted!
You can find these in the left top of index page, for example:
<a href="de/index.html">[de]</a>
<a href="index.html">[en]</a>
<a href="es/index.html">[es]</a>
<a href="fr/index.html">[fr]</a>
<a href="ja/index.html">[ja]</a>
<a href="nl/index.html">[nl]</a>
</p>
<p>
All the contributors have a CVS account on a dedicated CVS server
<a href="http://steelix.kd85.com">steelix.kd85.com</a>. After
the pages are finished and up to date, they are synchronized with
the main OpenBSD CVS repository.
</p>

The current status of the translation work can be tracked online via
