Dear list, in behalf of the Mainz/Germany based brainbot technologies ag I would like to announce that the elasticsearch documentation is now available… … **in German** : [http://brainbot.com/esdoc-de/](http://brainbot.com/esdoc-de/) As a service for the ever growing group of German elasticsearch users we have, over the course of several weeks, dug through the docs/reference/ part of the documentation and created a German version of it. To our knowledge, this is the only translation covering a larger part of the documentation. During the translation, we tried to stay close enough to the English original to retain patchability, and yet made sure to produce a pleasant to read text in valid German. Please let us know, what you think of the result! "Grüße" from Mainz -- Konrad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Dear Konrad, first of all, thanks for the contribution - I just glanced over it. I think it is most welcome to have a german translation, so german users can find easy access to Elasticsearch. Because I know the hard work of good translations, you have my admiration. Maybe you are aware of it, there are some passages still in english, e.g. [http://brainbot.com/esdoc-de/index-modules.html](http://brainbot.com/esdoc-de/index-modules.html) "field data formats" Have you the permission of the original authors (at the Elasticsearch company) for your work becoming an official translation? I think this is important to make clear, because it could be possible that it becomes worthy to publish an Elasticsearch manual in german language. Until the state of the translation is not clear, I rather do not dare to ask if I can reuse the translation, for instance, to update it to 1.0, or to illustrate recipes or blog entries or other educational material...

Hi Jörg, thanks for your response! Well done, spotting a patching leftover on first glance I hope this is fixed now. About becoming an "official" translation: We have not thought about that so far. Since... 1. we were not aware of any "official" efforts to create translations of the documentation (see e.g. [1] and some defunct doc-forks for chinese IIRC). 2. we just happened to have the resources to create something of potential value for the community. For now, feel free to link to it if you are satisfied with the quality! By the way: We do have plans to patch it up to 1.0, but since the docs are always evolving we needed to get it out there Are you (or anyone else) aware of any official plans for translating the documentation?
