+## Translations
+
+Translations to other languages are highly encouraged. Each official translation will be held as a separate repository in the [MostlyAdequate organization](https://github.com/MostlyAdequate) and linked from the English version book.
+Since each translation is a different repository, we can also have different maintainers for each project.
+
+### Creating a New Translation Repo
+
+In order to create a new translation, you need to follow these steps:
+
+* Fork the [main repo](https://github.com/MostlyAdequate/mostly-adequate-guide).
+* Add yourself to the watch list of the main repo, to keep up with changes.
+* When translating chapters, **create NEW files with suffix of your language**.
+  * For example, Spanish tranlation for `ch01.md` will be on `ch01-es.md`.
+* Open a [new issue](https://github.com/MostlyAdequate/mostly-adequate-guide/issues/new) and ask to be part of the organization.
+* Transfer the repo to the organization.
+* Merge new content from the main repo.
+* keep translating...
+* Rinse/repeat last too steps until the book is done.
