+Translating
+----
+Translating this guide is no small task and not something that the maintainer can do, so all help is welcome.
+
+To translate articles, put translations in the `resources/languages` folder, in a subfolder named with the language code of the language you're translating into. Inside this folder, please keep the folder structure of the English folder (which sorts the articles by their category). This helps to keep articles easy to find online and while developing.
+
+There are a few things to pay attention to though:
+* The guide is intended to be shown within Cura as well as online on Github. This means that your translations will need to link correctly to images using relative paths.
+* When linking to other articles, use relative links to the translated article of the same name, if such an article exists. If the linked article is not (yet) translated, link to the English article.
+* You will generally not need to translate images, but all images containing text should be SVG images, which are text-based and should be easy to translate. Do not copy any images you're not translating.
+
+Don't be afraid to ask for help with translations. I have experience handling Cura's translations and did a lot of translating in my spare time.
