Hi @mehrdad-dev, thanks for reaching out. At some point scikit-learn devs decided not to translate the documentation from English because the human cost of maintaining the translated pages is not affordable right now. I don't know if the team is willing to push for this or not.

Hi @cmarmo thanks for response.
How do we know that it is possible?
I think we can do it in a simple GitHub page or something else that don't need a additional resources ...

I've asked around. Indeed we don't have the manpower to manage a multilingual installation and the translations, but if you decide to work on that and host it on your github pages we can link to your work.

Can't I control and manage it myself?

Yes, feel free.

Ok, so if we create a github page for it and later introduce it to you in a issue, is it legally and the organization put it link in documentation?

Exactly. Just one more suggestion: scikit-learn documentation code is distributed under the BSD License, I believe it is a good idea to keep the same for your translation. Thanks!

Yes we keep it.
Thanks a lot.

Hi again @cmarmo .
We decided to translate the tutorial section of the website.
So before starting, do you have any recommendations or something?

Thanks.

Hi @mehrdad-dev there is an open issue about tutorials (#18257) that makes this section not optimal for you to start, I think. May I suggest to start from the "Getting Started" section and then proceed to the User Guide?

Yes sure. thanks for your suggest.

Is it better to create an github organization (like:"scikit-learn in Farsi") for this or is a simple repo enough?

Let's start simple with a personal repo, it will be easy to change ownership to an organization if your project become bigger.

Hi @cmarmo
we are create the repo: https://github.com/mehrdad-dev/scikit-learn
and the website address is: https://sklearn.ir/

Now, we are starting to work.

please add this link to the documentations.

@cmarmo we are waiting for your response

... I believe I did not understand the question then. I've seen you started the translation and that's awesome. Adding a link to the webpage needs a pull request and a decision about where the link should be put. This is not a blocker for you right? Thanks for your patience.

alright, so
Do we have to add the translated link of each page to that page itself?
Or introduce it all on a specific page?

@mehrdad-dev I've opened an issue for discussion (#18984 )

Thanks for working on a translation @mehrdad-dev

It'd be nice if the translation made it explicit that it's not the official docs. Maybe as a banner or as a note on the main page? In particular, it's important to mention that:

• the translation is a volunteer effort and the only official/latest version of the docs is https://scikit-learn.org/
• the sklearn team has no control on this translation, and it may be outdated
• if any issue with the translation, issues should be directed to the translation repo, not to the scikit-learn repo

Yes, sure
We will add these three paragraphs to the about page.

Hi dear @cmarmo.
We are finished translating the getting-started section.
So, How can we add a reference link to original documentation?

translated link of getting-started to Persian: https://sklearn.ir/getting-started

Thanks.

#18984 is waiting for the correspondent pull request to be merged. Thanks a lot for your work so far!

I'm closing this one as the link is now available from the scikit-learn documentation.
