Translating the Regulations
If you'd like to (re)-translate the Regulations, please use the following process:
- Download the current source of the Regulations.
- When you do this, please also visit the GitHub page and record the current "latest commit" value so we can tell which version you translated.
- Translate
wca-guidelines-2013.mdandwca-regulations-2013.md- Add a section at the top of the Regulations called "Translation", which should include any useful information about the translation, as well as a translation of the following text: "Please note that this translations is not an official version (even though it is provided on the WCA website): it may be useful, but it does not come with any guarantees. If there is a difference between a translation and the (current official) English version, the English version must be used."

- Read through the style guide for detailed information about how the Regulations are formatted.
- Contact the WRC for converting adding your translations to the GitHub repository and uploading them to the WCA website. Please sent us:
- The translated Regulations and Guidelines.
- The "latest commit" value your translation is based on.
- The names of the translators, along with WCA IDs, and (optionally) personal homepages to link from this page.

wca-regulations-and-guidelines-2013.pdffor downloads (preferably without accent marks or special letters)
All translations will be kept on GitHub. If you're familiar with git/GitHub, you're also welcome to fork the wca-documents repository. This makes it easy for you to make changes that the WRC can update on the site. (As of early February 2012, we're already using this to track the German and Russian translations.) If you're not familiar with GitHub, don't worry about it, and just send us your translation.
