The recent changes to the English file are primarily focused on refining the featuredImageAlt text. Specifically, a period (.) was added to the end of the description, changing it from "A screenshot of a video of a city crosswalk, with offset colors" to "A screenshot of a video of a city crosswalk, with offset colors.". While this might seem like a minor tweak, such small edits are crucial for maintaining clarity and grammatical accuracy across the documentation. These types of improvements ensure that the description is easily understood and properly conveys the visual content of the featured image. Consistent punctuation is a key aspect of professional documentation and contributes to a polished and user-friendly experience. Furthermore, ensuring the featuredImageAlt text is precise is vital for accessibility, as it provides screen readers with an accurate description of the image for users with visual impairments. Therefore, even a seemingly small change like adding a period can significantly enhance the overall quality and accessibility of the p5.js website content. Translators should pay close attention to these details to preserve the intent and precision of the original English text in their respective languages.

✅ Action Checklist

Okay, translators and contributors, here's what we need to do:

For translators / contributors:

  • [ ] Review the recent English file changes and the current translations
  • [ ] Confirm if translation already reflects the update — close the issue if so
  • [ ] Update the translation files accordingly
  • [ ] Maintain structure, code blocks, and formatting
  • [ ] Ensure translation is accurate and culturally appropriate

Going through this checklist will ensure that the translations are not only up-to-date but also maintain the high quality and consistency expected in the p5.js documentation. Reviewing the recent changes in the English file is the first critical step. This helps translators understand precisely what has been modified or added. Then, comparing these changes with the existing translations allows them to identify what needs updating. If a translation already reflects the changes—perhaps it was updated by someone else—the issue can be closed, saving time and effort. When updating the translation files, it’s vital to maintain the original structure, including any code blocks and formatting. This ensures that the translated documents mirror the English version, making them user-friendly and consistent. The most important part of translation is, of course, accuracy. Ensure that the translations are not only linguistically correct but also culturally appropriate, so the content resonates with the target audience. This might involve adapting certain phrases or expressions to better fit the cultural context of the language. By following this checklist, we can collectively ensure that the p5.js website remains a valuable resource for users around the world.

Translating technical content like this requires a unique set of skills and considerations. Beyond just linguistic proficiency, translators need to understand the technical concepts and terminology involved. This often means having a background or interest in programming and creative coding. Technical translators must be able to accurately convey the meaning of code examples, explanations of functionalities, and other technical details. It's crucial to avoid ambiguity and ensure that the translated content is as clear and precise as the original English. In addition to technical accuracy, translators must also be mindful of cultural context. Some phrases or expressions might not translate directly or might have different connotations in another language. Adapting the text to suit the cultural norms and expectations of the target audience is essential for effective communication. This might involve using different idioms, metaphors, or examples that resonate more strongly with the local culture. Maintaining consistency across all translations is also vital. This means using the same terminology and phrasing throughout the translated content, so users can easily understand and navigate the documentation. Translation guidelines and style guides can be invaluable tools for ensuring this consistency. By paying attention to these aspects of technical translation, we can create resources that are not only linguistically accurate but also culturally relevant and user-friendly.
