Multilingual Publishing

Presentation of the tools and work we are doing at rOpenSci to make multilingual publications.

Multilingual Publishing

The Multilingual Publishing project is an initiative by rOpenSci to expand the accessibility and reach of scientific knowledge by translating essential materials on best practices for software development, code review, and contribution to open source projects into Spanish. This effort aims to lower language barriers and make valuable resources available to a broader audience, thus fostering a more inclusive scientific community.

Expanding our Community through Multilingual Publishing

We are excited to announce that, with the support of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, NumFOCUS, and the R Consortium, we have begun the process of translating rOpenSci’s materials on best practices for software development, code review, and contribution to open source projects into Spanish. As part of this effort, we are also developing guidelines and tools for translating open source resources to reach a wider audience. According to a recent report from The Linux Foundation, language access is one of the environmental barriers to equity in open source.

Agrandando nuestra comunidad con publicaciones multi-idioma

Nos agrada anunciar que, con el aporte de Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, NumFOCUS y R Consortium, estamos comenzando el proceso de traducir los materiales de rOpenSci sobre buenas prácticas de desarrollo de software, revisión de código y contribución a proyectos de código abierto al español. Como parte de este esfuerzo, también estamos desarrollando guías y herramientas para traducir recursos de código abierto y alcanzar una mayor audiencia. De acuerdo a un reporte reciente de The Linux Foundation, el acceso de lenguaje es una de las barreras a la equidad en el código abierto.
