Hey—I’m replying from .impact’s Local Effective Altruism Network project (http://dotimpact.im/focusprojects/lean/). There isn’t a guide that I know of yet, though I think it’d be a good idea to create one.
What would you expect to be different for non English-speaking countries? And if there are such differences, which is quite probable, won’t differences of a similar kind exist in turn between non English-speaking countries?
I am also unaware of any comprehensive guide for promoting EA, although there are guides on aspects of what can be considered promoting EA, like on establishing chapters and giving talks, of course.
If you are looking for specific advice, I suggest you talk to EA organizations like .impact or EA Outreach.

The main difference is there are a lot of EA texts available in english, and EA and GiveWell have been mentioned in media in English a lot. Same is not true for Russian. Also GiveWell is very American-centrous, it compares everything to US based charities and in other ways assumes that the reader is living in the US.
Is there a guide for promoting EA or local EA hubs in non English-speaking countries?

There’s some non-English language websites listed on the Hub (https://eahub.org/links#non-english-languages) and some inter-group calls to look out for (https://www.facebook.com/groups/localea/events/) - you might like to suggest a call for a specific language.
We’d always encourage local groups/individuals to translate materials if they have the time and energy, though it can be a big ask.

Thanks, I’ll take a look at them.
