Hi,
I'm a member of the french #python-fr IRC channel on Freenode: it's common to meet people who don't speak english and so are unable to read the Python official documentation. Python wants to be widely available, for all users, in any language: that's also why Python 3 now allows any non-ASCII identifiers: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3131/#rationale
There are a least 3 groups of people who are translating the Python documentation in their mother language (french, japanese, spanish). They tried to make it more official, but their attempt didn't go far yet. I'm writing this email to propose to officially support translated versions of the documentation.
For me, the most impotant point would be to give access to the translated documentation from docs.python.org. For example, have a dropdown list with available languages.
IMHO a reference in this domain is PHP: PHP documentation is translated to at least 10 languages. See for example the "Change language: [...]" list at:
I'm not asking you to take any technical decision here, I'm just asking for an official general "support" of translated documentation.
