guix/documentation-manual — English @ Fedora Weblate

Recently, the Guix project main repository has moved to codeberg. To follow this movement, we have decided to also migrate the translations to the same platform, on their weblate instance. We know it is inconvenient to change platform, but since most of our translators are also contributors, we hope that this will actually be an even lower barrier to entry for future translators.

You can contact me, @roptat if you have any issues with the switch.

See you on the other side!

The translation is temporarily closed for contributions due to maintenance, please come back later.
