[RU] about/index: improvements

[lex111]

Hello there!

I am the maintainer of official Russian documentation on PHP, Vue.js, React [JS], ElixirSchool.

I would like to join the i18n team to make the Russian version of the Ruby site better and better, and thus help the Ruby community to popularize this language among Russian speakers.

@lex111 Welcome 🎉 Thanks for the contribution.

@hsbt can invite you to the team.

[lex111]

Thank you! I would like to join your friendly team, especially since I recently saw that the Russian translation is no longer maintained by anyone 😢

I have a question about how updates occur, i.e. how can I find out what changes ( like diff in git) have occurred in the original document, is this not automated in any way? I mean, do I need to manually look up the changes between the original file and its translation?

UPD: Do you have a separate Russian translation team in your organization?

[JuanitoFatas]

I recently saw that the Russian translation is no longer maintained by anyone 😢

I share the same sentiment with you 😭

The Russian team could be found at wiki.

We currently do not have an automated process to find changes easily 😓 . Korean team created this master issue to keep track of upstream changes: #1894.

We could think of ways to automate this, open to suggestions 🙇

I mean, in GitHub, you can create a team in an organization, like for example in the React community (see screenshot), so that members can discuss issues related to the Russian translation, it is convenient!

[JuanitoFatas]

@hsbt could help create a team for you.

[lex111]

As an option for tracking changes, you can add the last hash of the commit (you can think of it as a version) of each specific file (original and translation), and then compare these hashes, and thus simplify the identification of what changes had made.

Here it is! The hash commit of the translated file is different from the hash commit of the original file, so... the translation needs to be updated!

Did you get my idea?

[lex111]

As a continuation of this, so that people know the translation of which files need to be updated, you can create a similar table with translation progress, as done in Elixir School - https://elixirschool.com/ja/report/ (in the case of the Japanese version).

Any news?

[JuanitoFatas]

@lex111 Thanks for the suggestion. I created #2033 to implement the progress you mention. And thanks for the contributions!

[lex111]

I would like to do Russian translation on an ongoing basis, can I become the maintainer, especially now there is no one? Become part of your team.

[lex111]

I first of all want to improve the existing translation, and then update it in accordance with the new changes. And then translate the new pages of the site.

@lex111
There were a couple of people doing Russian translations, e.g. @razum2um and @gazay. Did you try to talk to them first?

[lex111]

@arbox no, because Ruby team have marked the Russian translation as unmaintained, it means that they can no longer do this anymore, right? :(

[gazay]

Hey! It would be great if it's possible to add you as maintainer of Russian version as I don't have time to maintain it anymore. But I don't have rights to do that, we need to ask and wait @hsbt for that.

[arbox]

@lex111 I'll help you to maintain the Russian version since the team must consist of at least two people.

@hsbt, what do you think?

[razum2um]

Hi @lex111 I'm still alive 😄
Just reviewed your latest submissions, thanks a lot!
