+# Information about the translationAcademy Manuals
+
+### Explanation of the content file layout
+
+The files containing the text for each article are in the `content` directory of the repository. The content of the files are in a hybrid YAML/markdown format, beginning with a YAML header followed by the body of the article in markdown.
+
+YAML is a markup language that is compact and easy to read. The YAML header bounded on the top and bottom by `---`. Each line within the header is a key-value pair, with the key and the value separated by a colon. Because the key is used by the publishing process, __it should never be translated or changed.__ Some of the values can be translated, and those are enumerated below in the instructions for translating.
+
+Following the YAML header is the body of the article, which uses a format called "markdown." If you aren't familiar with markdown, you may find [this tutorial](http://www.markdowntutorial.com/) helpful. Also, this README file, the one you are reading now, is written in markdown.
+
+
+### Before you get started translating
+
+* DO NOT RENAME ANY FILES. The name of the file is the same as the slug and is used to link the file to other files.
+
+* If you do any translation work, be sure to put your name in the `CONTRIBUTORS.md` file.
+
+* The `LICENSE.md` file does not need to be translated.
+
+
+### Instructions for translating translationAcademy
+
+__The instructions for translating `meta.yaml` (metadata) and `toc.yaml` (table of contents) are included in the header of those files.__
+
+The first step is to __fork this repository.__ When you do this, change the name of the repository to start with your language code rather than
+`en`.
+
+All of the content pages for this translationAcademy (tA) module are located in the `content` directory. The following list is refering to these files.
+
+* In the YAML header, you are free to translate the values following the `title`, `question` and `credits` keys. __DO NOT TRANSLATE THE KEYS__.
+None of the other values should be translated. They contain slugs that are used to identify this article and to link it to other articles.
+
+* Translating hyperlinks: Hyperlinks (links to other articles or to other pages on the internet) follow this pattern,
+
+```
+[text to display](http://www.example.com)
+```
+
+You can translate the "text to display" inside the square brackets but not the web address that follows inside the parentheses.
+
+You are free to add additional pages. In order for the new page to be included when tA is published, all of the following conditions need to be satisfied:
+
+  1. It must be in the `content` directory, no sub-directories allowed.
+
+  2. The file extension must be `.md`.
+
+  3. The file must be included in the table of contents, `toc.yaml`.
+
+  4. The value of the slug in the YAML header and the file name (without the extension) must be the same.
+
+  5. The slug must be unique, and not used in any of the other tA repositories. This is a requirement so that it is possible to create unambiguous links to articles in other tA manuals.
