EnglishDoes the Anki Manual Have Translations in Other Languages?
Updated
Yes. The Anki Manual (docs.ankiweb.net) is available in multiple languages beyond English, translated by volunteers. The manual's introduction page lists the currently available translations and notes that they "may not always be up to date" compared to the English original. If you want to help add or improve a translation, the page points to separate translation docs.

What to keep in mind when using a translation
- Translations can lag behind the English version. The manual states plainly that translated versions "may not always be up to date." If a feature description seems missing or inconsistent, check the English page for the current wording.
- The English manual is the reference for the computer version. The introduction page describes docs.ankiweb.net as the manual for the computer version of Anki specifically.
- Mobile clients have their own manuals. The page notes that separate manuals exist for AnkiDroid (Android) and AnkiMobile (iPhone/iPad), so a translation of the desktop manual won't cover phone- or tablet-specific screens.
How to help translate the manual
If your language isn't listed, or an existing translation needs work, the introduction page directs you to the translation docs rather than accepting edits directly on the manual pages. The page's stated path is: see the translation docs if you would like to help translate the manual into a different language. Start there to learn the workflow before making changes.
