Steps

Complete the Getting Started guide. The Getting Started page includes an intro video about the Training Team’s mission and helps you identify the contribution area that suits you best.
Find content to translate. Check the LearnWP Content – Localization project board for open issues in your locale, or browse the High Priority Content to Translate list for suggestions on where to start.
Open a GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged by the repository owner. https://github.com/ issue. Create a new Content Translation issue using the Content Translation template. This lets the team track your work and offer support throughout the process.
Translate the content. Follow the Translating Content guide for the specific steps for each content type. You can use any tool you’re comfortable with — Google Docs is a common choice as it allows easy sharing with reviewers.
Submit for review. Update your GitHub issue with a link to your translation and request a translation review. A reviewer will check your work for accuracy and consistency before it’s published.

When you’re ready, pick another piece of content to translate or help review translations from other contributors in your locale.
