In plain English

This repository holds the translation files for Wiki.js 2.x, a popular open-source wiki platform. Its sole purpose is to store the text that makes the wiki interface usable in different languages, so users around the world can navigate menus, read buttons, and interact with the software in their native tongue rather than the default English. The project is set up as a purely automated storage space. Translation files are synced here automatically from a separate translation platform where volunteers actually do the work of converting text between languages. Because of this automated pipeline, the maintainers do not accept direct contributions or pull requests to this repository. Anyone who wants to add a new language or fix a translation error is directed to the project's documentation, which explains how to participate through the proper translation tool. The people who benefit from this are wiki administrators and teams running Wiki.js for multilingual organizations. For example, a company with offices in Brazil, Germany, and Japan could configure the platform so each employee sees the interface in Portuguese, German, or Japanese. The actual translation work is typically done by community volunteers who want to make the tool accessible in their language. Not much else is covered in the documentation here. The repository is intentionally minimal, serving as a machine-managed destination rather than a collaboration space. The notable tradeoff is that contributors familiar with GitHub's normal pull-request workflow must instead learn a separate translation system, which adds a small barrier but keeps the translation process organized and consistent for the project as a whole.
