18 <p
>Almost two years after the previous Norwegian Bokmål translation of
19 the
"<a href=
"https://debian-handbook.info/
">The Debian Administrator
's
20 Handbook
</a
>" was published, a new edition is finally being prepared. The
21 english text is updated, and it is time to start working on the
22 translations. Around
37 percent of the strings have been updated, one
23 way or another, and the translations starting from a complete Debian Buster
24 edition now need to bring their translation up from
63% to
100%. The
25 complete book is licensed using a Creative Commons license, and has
26 been published in several languages over the years. The translations
27 are done by volunteers to bring Linux in their native tongue. The
28 last time I checked, it complete text was available in English,
29 Norwegian Bokmål, German, Indonesian, Brazil Portuguese and Spanish.
30 In addition, work has been started for Arabic (Morocco), Catalan,
31 Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish,
32 Dutch, French, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Polish,
33 Romanian, Russian, Swedish, Turkish and Vietnamese.

35 <p
>The translation is conducted on

">the
37 hosted weblate project page
</a
>. Prospective translators are
38 recommeded to subscribe to
