Lightly edited from an email chain I had with Aaron
The content and high-level format of it being “hosted” on the forum looks super promising!
It also made me wonder whether the scope the project should increase:
Does it make sense to translate everything in the 3rd Edition of the EA Handbook? What sort of considerations arise from here?
According to your post, this could be a “living document that grows and changes as the movement does”, which means most, if not all material in there are by nature high fidelity. I believe with this new edition, a lot of the traditional fear of irreversible lock-in, translation difficulties, and out-of-dateness don’t apply, and most countries can benefit a lot from an ongoing translation effort.
The way I’m intending to do this for EA Spain is to allow relatively new-but-engaged members to take up like a “miniproject” translating some of these texts to be shown on EA Spain’s website, so it serves as both an engagement and educational tool at the same time.
