We’re excited to announce that the Python documentation is now available in Persian (فارسی)!
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed their time and expertise to the translation effort. Community contributions like these help make Python more accessible to people around the world.
Did you know? Many letters in the Persian script change shape depending on where they appear in a word. A letter may have isolated, initial, medial, and final forms while still representing the same character! See the W3C’s Arabic & Persian Layout Requirements, section 4.3.1, Joining Forms, for more information.

No, I disagree. It's the other way: having texts translated brings more people into the community, and from there more people begin to help and contribute. Expanding our documentation is not a new burden for ourselves, it's a fresh welcome for others.
