Thank you. About translation, you should discuss with Julien (roptat) because they is managing a new Weblate to help in this area. About learning Lisp, Emacs Lisp or Scheme/Guile, the answer depends on your background about programming: Do you already know a language? If yes, which one? Did you do =C2=AB Scientific Programming =C2=BB (applied m= aths, e.g., linear algebra &co.) or =C2=AB Algorithmic Programming =C2=BB (e.g., implem= ent sort, tree, data structure, etc.)? With no Lisp background, pedestrian material about Emacs Lisp: and about Scheme/Racket: otherwise, suggestion really depends on the above questions. :-) All the best, simon
