-# The Modern JavaScript Tutorial
+# The Modern JavaScript Tutorial in Romanian
 
-This repository hosts the English content of the Modern JavaScript Tutorial, published at [https://javascript.info](https://javascript.info).
+This repository hosts the translation of <https://javascript.info> in Romanian.
 
-## Translations
+Please help us to make the translation better.
 
-We'd like to make the tutorial available in many languages. Please help us to translate.
+- See the [Romanian Translate Progress](https://github.com/javascript-tutorial/ro.javascript.info/issues/1) issue.
+- Choose an unchecked article you'd like to translate.
+- Add a comment to that issue to inform the maintainer that you're translating it.
+- Fork the repository, translate and send a PR when done.
 
-See <https://github.com/javascript-tutorial/translate> for the details.
+Also let others know what you're translating, in message boards or chats in your language. Invite them to join!
 
-## Contributions
+🎉 Thank you!
 
-We'd also like to collaborate on the tutorial with other people.
+Your name and the contribution size will appear in the "About project" page when the translation gets published.
 
-Something's wrong? A topic is missing? Explain it to people, add as PR 👏
+P.S. The full list of languages can be found at <https://github.com/javascript-tutorial/translate>.
 
-**You can edit the text in any editor.** The tutorial uses enhanced "markdown" format, easy to grasp. And if you want to see how it looks on-site, there's a server to run the tutorial locally at <https://github.com/javascript-tutorial/server>.  
+## Structure
 
-The list of contributors is available at <https://javascript.info/about#contributors>.
+Every chapter, an article or a task resides in its own folder.
 
-## Structure
+The folder is named `N-url`, where `N` – is the number for sorting (articles are ordered), and `url` is the URL-slug on the site.
+
+The folder has one of files:
+
+- `index.md` for a section,
+- `article.md` for an article,
+- `task.md` for a task formulation (+`solution.md` with the solution text if any).
+
+A file starts with the `# Title Header`, and then the text in Markdown-like format, editable in a simple text editor. 
+
+Additional resources and examples for the article or the task, are also in the same folder.
+
+## Translation Tips
+
+- The translation doesn't have to be word-by-word precise. It should be technically correct and explain well.
+- If you see that the English version can be improved – great, please send a PR to it.
+- Please keep line breaks and paragraphs "as is": makes it easy to merge future changes from the English version into the translation. 
+
+### Text in Code Blocks
+
+- Translate comments.
+- Translate user-messages and example strings.
+- Don't translate variables, classes, identifiers.
+- Ensure that the code works after the translation :)
+
+Example:
+
+```js
+// Example
+const text = "Hello, world";
+document.querySelector('.hello').innerHTML = text;
+```
+
+✅ DO (translate comment):
+
+```js
+// Ejemplo
+const text = 'Hola mundo';
+document.querySelector('.hello').innerHTML = text;
+```
+
+❌ DON'T (translate class):
+
+```js
+// Ejemplo
+const text = 'Hola mundo';
+// ".hello" is a class
+// DO NOT TRANSLATE
+document.querySelector('.hola').innerHTML = text;
+```
+
+### External Links
+
+If an external link is to Wikipedia, e.g. `https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript`, and a version of that article exists in your language that is of decent quality, link to that version instead.
+
+Example:
+
+```md
+[JavaScript](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript) is a programming language.
+```
+
+✅ OK (en -> es):
 
-Every chapter, article or a task has its folder.
+```md
+[JavaScript](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript) es un lenguaje de programación.
+```
 
-The folder is named like `N-url`, where `N` is a number for the sorting purposes and `url` is the URL part with title of the material.
+For links to MDN, that are only partially translated, also use the language-specific version.
 
-The type of the material is defined by the file inside the folder:
+If a linked article has no translated version, leave the link "as is".
 
-  - `index.md` stands for a chapter
-  - `article.md` stands for an article
-  - `task.md` stands for a task (solution must be provided in `solution.md` file aswell)
 
-Each of these files starts from the `# Main header`.
+## Running locally
 
-It's very easy to add something new.
+You can run the tutorial locally, to immediately see the changes on-site.
