Based on Software Carpentry version 5.2, we translated all the lessons in the form of pdf, html, mobi, epub, and azw3. It took almost 6 months: the first half spent on mostly lessons, and the second half spent on remainings. While translating and building various ebook formats, the original ebook production software of Software Carpentry seemed not to have upfront architectural concerns in terms of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (aka, CJK)characters problems. Also, we are wondering how to generate various ebook formats from the current developing lessons.

This is pretty amazing: a group has translated the core Software Carpentry lessons into Korean:

Introduction: http://statkclee.github.io/xwmooc-sc/intro.html
The Unix Shell: http://statkclee.github.io/xwmooc-sc/novice/shell/
Version Control with Git: http://statkclee.github.io/xwmooc-sc/novice/git/
Programming with Python: http://statkclee.github.io/xwmooc-sc/novice/python/
Programming with R: http://statkclee.github.io/xwmooc-sc/novice/r/
Using Databases and SQL: http://statkclee.github.io/xwmooc-sc/novice/sql/
Extras: http://statkclee.github.io/xwmooc-sc/novice/extras/

It's a remarkable and encouraging achievement—congratulations and thanks to the team that did the work:

Victor KC Lee (이광춘): Translation Lead
Jungsu Han (한정수): Translator
Chungyeong Moon (문춘경): Illustrator
Ri Jeong Kim (김이정): Graphic Designer
Hwan Beom Kang (강환범): Support

We still need to figure out how to manage this: Gabriel Devenyi's post outlined our options, but someone will need to take the lead to set something up so that versions in various languages can stay in sync.

Lessons, the Repository Split, and Translations

Keeping on the roll of the posts about the repo split, templates, and metadata, Software Carpentry now needs to consider how to handle translated lessons. The core Software Carpentry lessons have be translated by bilingual instructors into Korean produced by Victor KC Lee (and friends) and Spanish by Francisco Navarro (and friends). With the upcoming repo split, I think its a good time to examine the various options of how we might handle translations generally.
