<br>
I would agree there is no need to translate the docstrings (and<br>
there is no easy way to do it either at the source code level).<br>
[Note we would like to have them all RST formatted to make the<br>
API documentation prettier, i.e. using reStructuredText]<br>
<br>
I would focus any translation efforts on the main Tutorial,<br>
which is currently written in LaTeX:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/biopython/biopython/blob/master/Doc/Tutorial.tex" target="_blank">https://github.com/biopython/biopython/blob/master/Doc/Tutorial.tex</a><br>
<br>
There are also user contributed "Cookbook" examples on our<br>
wiki - would people want to translate any of these?<br>
<a href="http://biopython.org/wiki/Category:Cookbook" target="_blank">http://biopython.org/wiki/Category:Cookbook</a><br>
<br>
And various people have written introduction slides for workshops<br>
etc over the years, e.g. mine using *.rst on GitHub:<br>
