| 18 | Disclaimer | |
| 19 | ---------- | |
| 20 | ||
| 224b1e86 | 21 | Translation's purpose is to ease reading and understanding in languages other |
| 20bd1249 FV |
22 | than English. Its aim is to help people who do not understand English or have |
| 23 | doubts about its interpretation. Additionally, some people prefer to read | |
| 24 | documentation in their native language, but please bear in mind that the | |
| 25 | *only* official documentation is the English one: :ref:`linux_doc`. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | It is very unlikely that an update to :ref:`linux_doc` will be propagated | |
| 28 | immediately to all translations. Translations' maintainers - and | |
| 29 | contributors - follow the evolution of the official documentation and they | |
| 30 | maintain translations aligned as much as they can. For this reason there is | |
| 31 | no guarantee that a translation is up to date. If what you read in a | |
| 32 | translation does not sound right compared to what you read in the code, please | |
| 33 | inform the translation maintainer and - if you can - check also the English | |
| 34 | documentation. | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | A translation is not a fork of the official documentation, therefore | |
| 37 | translations' users should not find information that differs from the official | |
| 38 | English documentation. Any content addition, removal or update, must be | |
| 39 | applied to the English documents first. Afterwards and when possible, the | |
| 40 | same change should be applied to translations. Translations' maintainers | |
| 41 | accept only contributions that are merely translation related (e.g. new | |
| 42 | translations, updates, fixes). | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | Translations try to be as accurate as possible but it is not possible to map | |
| 45 | one language directly to all other languages. Each language has its own | |
| 46 | grammar and culture, so the translation of an English statement may need to be | |
| 47 | adapted to fit a different language. For this reason, when viewing | |
| 48 | translations, you may find slight differences that carry the same message but | |
| 49 | in a different form. | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | If you need to communicate with the Linux community but you do not feel | |
| 224b1e86 FV |
52 | comfortable writing in English, you can ask the translation's maintainers |
| 53 | for help. |
