Tutorial: How to translate a kata
Writing a translation
Now you found a kata in JavaScript. You liked it, and want to translate it into Python. There should be a "+" sign next to the language icons after you solved it. Click on it and you'll land on the list of current translations. After you've checked that there isn't a pending translation in Python, you click on "Translate this kata".
This will open translation kumite editor. Choose the language in the drop-down menu before you write any code. Then fill the (initial) solution and (example) tests. Save your progress often to prevent data loss. Whenever you're ready, publish your translation.
When you finished a kata, you can translate it to other languages.
You may check whether the author is still active or not at first. An author of the kata is most likely to approve or decline the translation. However any high level Code Warrior on the site who has completed the kata and has 4000+ honor will be able to approve translation, so if the author is not around you may want to add a comment letting other users know there is a translation that can be approved. Only the author will get a notification email about the translation.
At this example, you could see that there is already a unapproved python translation
You can find the draft at you Profile page
When you finished all the translation(include the test example and solution setup), you could save and run the code to check if there is any bug.
At last, leave a comment at the original kata
When your translation is approved it will be marked as closed. Don't worry about it. The new languages will appear in the languages list.
