Anyone tried to write a non-english book using gitbook?

• bpesquet 12y ago
  Yes, and it works fine (example : https://www.gitbook.com/book/bpesquet/programmation-orientee-objet-csharp/details https://www.gitbook.com/book/bpesquet/programmation-orientee...). You can even write multi-languages books.

  GitBook co-founder here. We have a lot of non-english books actually: https://www.gitbook.com/explore https://www.gitbook.com/explore, over a thousand in chinese alone. In the upcoming 2.0.0 release, we've further improved internationalisation: https://github.com/GitbookIO/gitbook/tree/master/theme/i18n https://github.com/GitbookIO/gitbook/tree/master/theme/i18n We automatically detect your book's language (or you can specify itself) and so then the build chain can automatically use translations for menu entries etc ... if available in your language.

    My mother-tongue is Greek. I can imagine it's not your top priority. I will test the waters hopefully somewhere before summer :-) Thanks for the reply.

    Will Hebrew also be supported? With vowel points? I could simulate such letters with icons but I wonder if they look acceptable on different devices (iOS, kindle etc.)
