OpenStack Document Translation Guide http://wiki.openstack.org/Documentation/Translation
OpenStack http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStack uses Transifex to manage translations. OpenStack http://wiki.openstack.org/OpenStack Manuals are in DocBook http://wiki.openstack.org/DocBook format. We slice the documents into short statements, then use Transifex to manage the translation process, and finally converge the translated content into a new copy of DocBook http://wiki.openstack.org/DocBook, which will used to generate HTML and PDF versions. The easiest way to contribute to OpenStack is to start by translating the manuals. Getting started is super easy.
