Earlier this week, I announced the Symfony 8.1 edition of The Fast Track. If
you made it to the end of that post, you read that the book was available in
five languages. That line is already out of date, and I could not be happier
about it.
The Symfony 8.1 edition is now available in nine languages: English, of course,
plus French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Russian. And three newcomers I am
especially happy to welcome for this edition: Dutch, Polish, and Ukrainian. A
book that teaches you to build a real application should be able to do it in the
language you think in.
Every edition is free to read online at symfony.com/book, in all nine
languages. Same guestbook, same Git-commit journey, same
deploy-from-chapter-one philosophy, now in your language.
Translating a book this size, keeping every language in sync edition after
edition, running the whole thing as an executable test suite: that is real,
continuous work, and it has to be funded somehow. If your company builds on
Symfony and wants to give back, you can sponsor the work on the book directly:
reach out to Hadrien at [email protected]. Your
name in the credits, the book in more hands, more time funded for Symfony.
Everybody wins.
Bouw het. Zbuduj ją. Збудуй її. Build it. Four ways to say the same thing, and
the book now says it in all nine. Pick the language you dream in; the guestbook
is waiting.
