+### Translations
+
+Autistici/Inventati's website is currently fully or partly available in the following languages:
+
+- Italian (the project's native language)
+- English (a language most of the collective members are fluent with)
+- Spanish (many of us speak at least some)
+- French (some of us speak it)
+- Portuguese (some of us speak it)
+- German (few of us speak it)
+- Catalan (none of us speak it, but some very friendly volunteers decided to translate most of the website and we loved the idea)
+
+If you would like to update or add translations in the above languages, we would be very thankful about it,
+and would be happy to add them to the website.
+
+If you are thinking of translating into languages other than those, please consider that this
+could create false expectations in people, who might think that we would then be able to support
+them with technical issues in those languages. If you think it still would be a good idea to have
+the whole website translated in your language, then feel free to go ahead, but in that case, consider translating 
+as many pages as possible before you submit your project to us.
+
+When adding a translation, create a file with the same name as the original, but with the appropriate language code.
+For example, if you wanted to translate the index page into Arabic, you would create a new file in the `src` folder
+called `index.ar.md`.
+
+When you're done with your translations, create a merge request and you're done.
+
+Thanks a lot for contributing to the Autistici/Inventati website!

+## Making Changes Beyond Content

 When editing the website sources, it is a good idea to test the
 results locally, before submitting the changes. In order to do so,
 there are some setup steps you will need to perform on your system.
