+
+<p>Almost two years after the previous Norwegian Bokmål translation of
+the "<a href="https://debian-handbook.info/">The Debian Administrator's
+Handbook</a>" was published, a new edition is finally being prepared.  The
+english text is updated, and it is time to start working on the
+translations.  Around 37 percent of the strings have been updated, one
+way or another, and the translations starting from a complete Debian Buster
+edition now need to bring their translation up from 63% to 100%.  The
+complete book is licensed using a Creative Commons license, and has
+been published in several languages over the years.  The translations
+are done by volunteers to bring Linux in their native tongue.  The
+last time I checked, it complete text was available in English,
+Norwegian Bokmål, German, Indonesian, Brazil Portuguese and Spanish.
+In addition, work has been started for Arabic (Morocco), Catalan,
+Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish,
+Dutch, French, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Polish,
+Romanian, Russian, Swedish, Turkish and Vietnamese.</p>
+
+<p>The translation is conducted on
+<a href="https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/debian-handbook/">the
+hosted weblate project page</a>.  Prospective translators are
+recommeded to subscribe to
+<a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-handbook-translators">the
+translators mailing list</a> and should also check out
+<a href="https://debian-handbook.info/contribute/">the instructions for
+contributors</a>.</p>
+
+<p>I am one of the Norwegian Bokmål translators of this book, and we
+have just started.  Your contribution is most welcome.</p>
