## Discussion

## Discussion

- [Mariatta] Python Translation coordinators and their role within Core Python
- translation coordinators are separate from core Python development
- not considered for core sprint/language summit, unlike mypy, packaging, and so on
- should work more closely with coordinators
- considered as external group
- Petr: English often used in Czechia
- Mariatta: non-English needed outside Europe/North America, like in China
- Daniele: give spaces/platform for their voices to be heard
- Ned: was there a discussion about more fine-grained permissions? how many would it
be that could join core team?
- Mariatta: perhaps 10 with completed translations. other langs need support,
motivation from other teams
- Petr: which is hard; once you've learnt Eng need motivation to translate docs
- Ned: what would help with motivation? would adding to core team help with
motivation?
- Daniele: we need to involve translators in this discussion, do they feel external,
can we bring them in and ask what they want to do? then answers should just come
- Daniele & Blaise mentioned Felienne Hermans who recently spoke at PyCon Netherlands
about translating programming languages. Maybe a subset/niche community like that
might have folks interested in helping.
- Petr: there's a role we need to fill, like a coordinator like Julien used to do,
with guidance, templates to help translate. we don't really know how to do it
- Blaise: re: recognition, uncertainty around identity of a translator. docs people
considered as contributors, should translators be part of a SIG?
- Mariatta: from core team, don't need to wait for them to ask, we need to come up
with initiative. people don't ask for recognition
- Hugo: create translator team on GitHub python org? most permissions are prob dealt
on per-repo basis, but if nothing else, for visibility to show usernames under
`python/` on GitHub
- Hugo: [PEP 545](https://peps.python.org/pep-0545/) is the governance general
process,
[devguide lists contacts](https://devguide.python.org/documentation/translating/)
- Joe: no translation FAQ about machine translation, is there a policy?
- Hugo: some teams use machine translation as first draft, human revises. seems
reasonable
-
- [Hugo] Move `python-docs-theme` under `cpython` PyPI org:
https://discuss.python.org/t/request-python-organisation-on-pypi/26545/10
- Petr: why not `python`?
- Hugo: because if other projects use the theme, they're
[borrowing trust and credibility from CPython](https://github.com/python/python-docs-theme).
but let's bikeshed this elsewhere :)
- [Petr] Mariatta and Petr are current hosts who can let people into the meeting. Should
we have more Google Meeting co-hosts to let more in?
- Mariatta: Or use Discord instead?
- Group decision: we'll test Discord next month
- [Carol] History of Dead Batteries page/approach
https://discuss.python.org/t/history-of-dead-batteries/68934
- Hugo: should we have stub pages?
- Ned: yes, redirect them to a single page with info on replacements. before we got
404, now we get redirect to homepage instead of 404, which bit less useful
- Petr: also keep entries for removed functions/classes. better place for porting
notes than in cramming in What's New.
- [Carol] API navigation or tables on long pages:
https://discuss.python.org/t/summary-tables-as-an-api-overview/68474
- [python/cpython#125810](https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/125810) ->
[docs.python.org/3/library/math.html](https://docs.python.org/3/library/math.html)
- [python/cpython#126342](https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/126342) ->
[cpython-previews--126342.org.readthedocs.build/en/126342/library/pathlib.html#summary](https://cpython-previews--126342.org.readthedocs.build/en/126342/library/pathlib.html#summary)
- ran out of time to cover this time, but please check the PRs!

## Next meeting

The docs team generally meets on the first Tuesday of every month around 20:00-ish UTC.

We have a recurring Google Calendar event for the meeting. Let Mariatta know your email
address and she can invite you.
