![]() | TranslationsThe PHP manual is available not only in various formats, but also in various languages. The text of the manual is first written in English, then teams of people across the world take care of translating it to their native languages. If a translation for a specified function or chapter has not yet been made, the manual's build system falls back to the English version of it. People involved in the translations start from the XML source code available from http://cvs.php.net/ and from it they translate to their mother language. They do not use the HTML, the plain text, or the PDF version. It is the build system which takes care of the conversions from XML to human readable formats.
At the moment the manual is available, partly or not, in the following languages: Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Hong Kong Cantonese), Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish.
