Translations?

[non-descriptive]

By the terms of CC NonDerive forked translations should not be distributed, so are there any plans to make this repo multilingual?

Hi there! I wrote tooling for translating mdbook projects for Comprehensive Rust: mdbook-i18n-helpers. We have used this to translate our course into many languages and I hope it can be useful here too!

The mdbook-i18n-helpers also work well with publishing PDFs: #56.

It's nice to have tools, but it's the license' non-derive clause forbids actual translation

Ah, I don't think I understand — surely it would be possible to commit files to this repository which contain a translation?

Those files would just be an extension of the existing book, but this time in another language.

You are not allowed to do that by license. At least in separate repository

Oh, I see what you mean now... I read more about the no-derivatives part of the license and it does indeed seem to forbid making public forks of the repository. I was first thinking that a fork wouldn't be "distribution", but I fail to find a clear definition of what CC means by "distribution".

Oh well, I hope someone can use the tooling and I wish the authors best of luck with the project here.
