mdn/translated-content

Translated-content is a community-maintained localization repository that provides MDN Web Docs in multiple languages including Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, and Chinese.

The repository addresses the need to make web development documentation accessible to developers in their native languages. It works by maintaining translated versions of MDN Web Docs content across active locales, each supported by dedicated community maintenance teams responsible for reviewing pull requests, fixing issues, and keeping translations current. Contributors can find tasks by searching locale-specific labels in the issues list.

Teams considering whether to use this repository should understand that it is designed for contributors rather than end users—the actual translated documentation is published on the MDN Web Docs website itself. This repository is appropriate for developers who want to contribute translations or help maintain localized content in one of the supported languages. Active locales are limited to those with established community teams, ensuring quality control and ongoing maintenance. Prospective contributors should review the contribution guidelines and code of conduct before participating.

The project maintains active coordination across multiple language communities, with each locale having its own peer review guidelines and communication channels. Pull request reviews are handled by locale-specific teams, and the repository uses language-tagged issues to organize work across different translations. The project operates under a defined license agreement that contributors accept when submitting work.
