18
+Disclaimer

+----------
20
+
21
+Translation's purpose is to ease reading and understanding in languages other
22
+than English. Its aim is to help people who do not understand English or have
23
+doubts about its interpretation. Additionally, some people prefer to read
24
+documentation in their native language, but please bear in mind that the
25
+*only* official documentation is the English one: :ref:`linux_doc`.
26
+
27
+It is very unlikely that an update to :ref:`linux_doc` will be propagated
28
+immediately to all translations.  Translations' maintainers - and
29
+contributors - follow the evolution of the official documentation and they
30
+maintain translations aligned as much as they can.  For this reason there is
31
+no guarantee that a translation is up to date.  If what you read in a
32
+translation does not sound right compared to what you read in the code, please
33
+inform the translation maintainer and - if you can - check also the English
34
+documentation.
35
+
36
+A translation is not a fork of the official documentation, therefore
37
+translations' users should not find information that differs from the official
38
+English documentation.  Any content addition, removal or update, must be
39
+applied to the English documents first.  Afterwards and when possible, the
40
+same change should be applied to translations.  Translations' maintainers
41
+accept only contributions that are merely translation related (e.g. new
42
+translations, updates, fixes).
43
+
44
+Translations try to be as accurate as possible but it is not possible to map
45
+one language directly to all other languages. Each language has its own
46
+grammar and culture, so the translation of an English statement may need to be
47
+adapted to fit a different language.  For this reason, when viewing
48
+translations, you may find slight differences that carry the same message but
49
+in a different form.
50
+
51
+If you need to communicate with the Linux community but you do not feel
52
+comfortable writing in English, you can ask the translation's maintainers
53
+for help.
