Comment (by wildworks):

 Regarding localizing the documentation, I would like to share the workflow
 that the Japanese community follows.

 == If the Handbook is managed on GitHub

 - Fork the repository on GitHub.
 - Clone the repository to our machine.
 - Translate the text. Comment out the original text and add the translated
 Japanese text below it, as shown below. Example:
   {{{
    <!--
    Hello World!
    -->
    今日は世界!
   }}}
 - Submit the translated page as a PR. Community members review and merge
 the PR ([https://github.com/jawordpressorg/developer-plugins-
 handbook/pull/144/files example]).
 - Copy the markdown text of the translated page and paste it into the
 block editor on the Japanese Handbook site.
 - If the upstream repository is updated, merge it into the Japanese
 repository. Here, we review the updates made in the upstream repository
 and make a new translation if necessary.

 == If the Handbook is not managed on GitHub

 - In this case, too, create a repository for Japanese.
 - Use the [https://github.com/alleyinteractive/wp-block-converter WP Block
 Converter] tool to parse the published handbook page and convert it to
 markdown.
 - Translate the text. Comment out the original text and add the translated
 Japanese text below it.
 - Submit the translated page as a PR. Community members review and merge
 the PR.
 - Copy the Markdown text of the page where the translation is completed
 and paste it into the block editor of the Japanese Handbook site.
 - Periodically, run the WP Block Converter tool locally.
 - If any differences are found, make a new translation.

 In both cases, we use GitHub, and I certainly feel the problem of it being
 hard for users who are not familiar with GitHub to contribute.
