Thank you! I've checked the weblate chart and it seems that there's a lot
of work to do so I hope I can help translating this great book.

Yes there is, you may want to read the file linked[1] on this page[2] or if
you clone the repository you'll have this file, there you'll find the
instructions to start a new translation among these suggestions, the
creation of the README file is required . Not sure what is the 'role' of
the coordinator, I think the main tasks will include to keep updated the
README file, welcome and give basic instructions to newcomers on the
specific translation and setting agreements about who may do what (or who
may translate what) mainly to avoid duplicity on the work, another task may
be that this person will review the work done and apply/suggest corrections
all of this with the help of the community. For now I will leave my name
there as coordinator, but please don't hesitate to ask for the job or if
any other person would like to give it a try I am all ears!
