+# How to translate the QMK docs into different languages
+
+All files in the root folder (`docs/`) should be in English - all other languages should be in subfolders with the ISO 639-1 language codes, followed by `-` and the country code where relevant. [A list of common ones can be found here](https://www.andiamo.co.uk/resources/iso-language-codes/). If this folder doesn't exist, you may create it. Each of the translated files should have the same name as the English version, so things can fall back successfully.
+
+A `_summary.md` file should exist in this folder with a list of links to each file, with a translated name, and link preceded by the language folder:
+
+ * [QMK简介](zh-cn/getting_started_introduction.md)
+
+Once you've finished translating a new language, you'll also need to modify the following files:
+
+* [`docs/_langs.md`](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/_langs.md)
+ Each line should contain a country flag in the format `:us:` followed by the name represented in its own language:
+
+ - [:cn: 中文](/zh-cn/)
+
+* [`docs/index.html`](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/index.html)
+ Both `placeholder` and `noData` objects should have a dictionary entry for the language folder in a string:
+
+ '/zh-cn/': '没有结果!',
+
+## Previewing the translations
+
+Before opening a pull request, you can preview your additions if you have Python 3 installed by running this command in the `docs/` folder:
+
+ python -m http.server 9000
+
+and navigating to http://localhost:9000/ - you should be able to select your new language from the "Translations" menu at the top-right.
+
+Once you're happy with your work, feel free to open a pull request!

-
-## 什麼是QMK固件?
-
-QMK是一個由社群維護的開源鍵盤韌體,其中包含了QMK Toolbox、qmk.fm和其它文件。QMK韌體是以[tmk\_keyboard](http://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard)為基礎,讓一些有用的功能在Atmel AVR控制器實現,使用於[OLKB](https://olkb.com)、[ergodox EZ](http://www.ergodox-ez.com),和[Clueboard](http://clueboard.co/)的產品中。它也被移植到使用ChibiOS的ARM晶片上。你也可以用它來讓你徒手佈線,或是客製的鍵盤PCB發揮功能。
-
-## 如何得到QMK
-
-如果你打算貢獻鍵盤佈局,鍵盤或功能QMK,最容易做的事情是[叉通過Github上爬行](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware#fork-destination-box),和克隆你爬在本地進行更改,推動他們,然後打開從你的叉子[拉請求](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pulls)。
-
-否則,您可以直接下載([拉鍊](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/zipball/master) [焦油](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tarball/master)),或者通過GIT中克隆它(`git@github.com:qmk/qmk_firmware.git`)或HTTP(`https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware.git`)。
-
-## 如何編譯
-
-你可以編譯之前,你需要[安裝環境](getting_started_build_tools.md)用於AVR或/和ARM開發。一旦完成,你會使用`make`命令建立一個鍵盤並用以下符號鍵盤佈局
-
- make planck/rev4:default
-
-這將建立`rev4` `planck`的修訂與`default`鍵盤映射。並非所有鍵盤有一個修訂版(也稱為子項目或文件夾),在這種情況下,它可以被省略:
-
- make preonic:default
-
-## 如何赶近
-
-QMK有很多[特點](features.md)探索和很好的協議[參考文獻](http://docs.qmk.fm)挖通的。大部分功能通過修改[鍵盤映射(keymap.md),並改變[鍵碼](keycodes.md)冤大頭。
