### Previewing the Documentation
Before opening a pull request, you can preview your changes if you have set up the development environment by running this command from the `qmk_firmware/` folder:
./bin/qmk docs
or if you only have Python 3 installed:
python3 -m http.server 8936
and navigating to `http://localhost:8936/`.
## Keymaps ## Keymaps
Most first-time QMK contributors start with their personal keymaps. We try to keep keymap standards pretty casual (keymaps, after all, reflect the personality of their creators) but we do ask that you follow these guidelines to make it easier for others to discover and learn from your keymap.

# How to translate the QMK docs into different languages # Translating the QMK Docs
All files in the root folder (`docs/`) should be in English - all other languages should be in subfolders with the ISO 639-1 language codes, followed by `-` and the country code where relevant. [A list of common ones can be found here](https://www.andiamo.co.uk/resources/iso-language-codes/). If this folder doesn't exist, you may create it. Each of the translated files should have the same name as the English version, so things can fall back successfully.

A `_summary.md` file should exist in this folder with a list of links to each file, with a translated name, and link preceded by the language folder: A `_summary.md` file should exist in this folder with a list of links to each file, with a translated name, and link preceded by the language folder:
* [QMK简介](zh-cn/getting_started_introduction.md) ```markdown
* [QMK简介](zh-cn/getting_started_introduction.md)
```
All links to other docs pages must also be prefixed with the language folder. If the link is to a specific part of the page (ie. a certain heading), you must use the English ID for the heading, like so:
```markdown
[建立你的环境](zh-cn/newbs-getting-started.md#set-up-your-environment)
## 建立你的环境 :id=set-up-your-environment
```
Once you've finished translating a new language, you'll also need to modify the following files: Once you've finished translating a new language, you'll also need to modify the following files:
* [`docs/_langs.md`](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/_langs.md) * [`docs/_langs.md`](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/_langs.md)
Each line should contain a country flag in the format `:us:` followed by the name represented in its own language: Each line should contain a country flag as a [GitHub emoji shortcode](https://github.com/ikatyang/emoji-cheat-sheet/blob/master/README.md#country-flag) followed by the name represented in its own language:
- [:cn: 中文](/zh-cn/) ```markdown
- [:cn: 中文](/zh-cn/)

## Previewing the translations ```js

Before opening a pull request, you can preview your additions if you have Python 3 installed by running this command in the `docs/` folder: And make sure to add the language folder in the `fallbackLanguages` list, so it will properly fall back to English instead of 404ing:
python -m http.server 9000 ```js
fallbackLanguages: [
// ...
'zh-cn',
// ...
],
```
and navigating to http://localhost:9000/ - you should be able to select your new language from the "Translations" menu at the top-right. ## Previewing the Translations
See (Previewing the Documentation)[contributing.md#previewing-the-documentation] for how to set up a local instance of the docs - you should be able to select your new language from the "Translations" menu at the top-right.
