# Can you do a good translation from English to Spanish (or Spanish to English?) There is a Spanish version of the book at http://en.flossmanuals.net/como-hacer-una-actividad-sugar/. We need to make any improvements to one manual have a translated version in the other. Some of our authors may prefer to write in Spanish, so we might need translators for both directions.

We'll write the manual using software called Booktype, which is like a Wiki that can make books. All you need is a web browser. The Sugar Browse Activity should be fine. The books will be published for free on the Internet Archive, as webpages on the FLOSS Manuals website, and as attractive printed books and Kindle e-books on Amazon.com sites in the U.S. and Europe. Currently the printed book cover shows a picture of James Simmons and lists him as the sole author. The new edition will list '''all''' contributors and the back may have a sort of collage of the contributor's photos. The mentor may also buy copies of the printed book for the contributors and ship them to wherever they live.
