+# Contribute by translating lessons
+
+We welcome translations for the lessons in this curriculum!
+
+> Note, please do not use Google Translate or other machine translation tools for translations, but rather use your own proficiency and manually translate the files.
+
+## Guidelines
+
+There are folders in each lesson folder and lesson introduction folder which contain the translated markdown files.
+
+> Note, please do not translate any code in the code sample files; the only things to translate are README, assignments, and the quizzes. Thanks!
+
+Translated files should follow this naming convention:
+
+**README._[language]_.md**
+
+where _[language]_ is a two letter language abbreviation following the ISO 639-1 standard (e.g. `README.es.md` for Spanish and `README.nl.md` for Dutch).
+
+**assignment._[language]_.md**
+
+Similar to Readme's, please translate the assignments as well.
+
+**Quizzes**
+
+1. Add your translation to the quiz-app by adding a file here: https://github.com/microsoft/Data-Science-For-Beginners/tree/main/quiz-app/src/assets/translations, with proper naming convention (en.json, fr.json). **Please don't localize the words 'true' or 'false' however. thanks!**
+
+2. Add your language code to the dropdown in the quiz-app's App.vue file.
+
+3. Edit the quiz-app's [translations index.js file](https://github.com/microsoft/Data-Science-For-Beginners/blob/main/quiz-app/src/assets/translations/index.js) to add your language.
+
+4. Finally, edit ALL the quiz links in your translated README.md files to point directly to your translated quiz: https://red-water-0103e7a0f.azurestaticapps.net/quiz/1 becomes https://red-water-0103e7a0f.azurestaticapps.net/quiz/1?loc=id
+
+**THANK YOU**
+
+We truly appreciate your efforts!
