That would be so awesome to have Japanese translations! Thank you @matcha440!

Oh, this is super exciting. If you could keep me looped into subsequent PRs, I would love that! I speak fluent Japanese as well and would love to be an extra pair of eyes where needed.

@nshki that sounds like a great idea to me. Although I've made a fair amount of progress, I'm sure there are a lot of mistakes too and it is quite a daunting effort. I'll try and see what I can do to make reviewing what I've got more digestible, maybe take it a section at a time. Expect to see some PRs start probably later today.

Hi! I'd love to help if this issue still needs Japanese translations! I've been speaking Japanese ever since I was a kid, and have experience in composing/translating my own projects from English > Japanese and vice versa. :)

@SnailsCode help is welcome and appreciated. I started on this and made a fair amount of progress last year, but things in my life got hectic and I haven't had an opportunity to get back to it so the the branch I was working on is rather far behind the master branch at this point. Maybe a good start would be to get the ja-translations branch rebased? 🤔

[mmadsoup]

@matcha440 Thank you. I hope everything's all set and in order now for you now!

Wasn't too sure what rebasing was, so I did a quick google search on it and stumbled upon this article! Are you saying to do something like this?

$ git checkout ja-translations
$ git rebase master

Sorry for the silly question! Still pretty new to everything. I'm also a bit lost on where to start in the project, too. 😰

[julianguyen]

Hey @SnailsCode! Not a silly question! Thanks for helping out with this :) Yeah so this branch is on this repo. So you'll want to clone the repository, pull the latest from the master branch, checkout ja-translations, and rebase like you stated above!

Let me know if you need any help! If you haven't already, you should join our contributor community.

Hello, I'd love to work on this. Is there anything I can help with?

[nshki]

Hi @maegatro! Thanks for offering help here. Let's check in with @SnailsCode to see if you'd be able to pick things up.

[julianguyen]

Hi @maegatro! We would love to finish up these efforts. @matcha440 had made a lot of progress in this branch. It would be great to finish things up! @SnailsCode if you're still interested maybe you two can work together. The more help the better the translations will be :)
