Some of our users are French speaking, and while I know the interface is translated, are some of the doc (user or even implementer manual) available in French somewhere?
I though not then found a GitHub repo here: https://github.com/dhis2/dhis2-docs-fr but I’m unsure about the status (one year old is not that bad if needed).
Is there a goal to drive such an effort, possibly community driven?

Hi Martin,
Unfortunately, that version of the manual is extremely out of date and incomplete. It has not been updated in a number of years.
The translation process is currently a community driven one, with limited support from the core team. The core team maintains a translation server (https://translate.dhis2.org) for the software.
Community contributions would certainly be welcome and if there are specific questions about how to get started, please let me know.
Thanks, I understand the effort needed and most technical profile I know can read english, so I suppose this is both huge and difficult to priorise.
A sort of “stupid” id - could we not start by putting the whole manual (or the various XML parts) through google translate as a basis, and accept contributions from that point? I tested it, it is surprinsingly good.
