I’m glad to announce that the Wheezy version of the Debian Administrator’s Handbook now sports two full translations with the French and Spanish ones.

French: Cahier de l’Admin Debian Wheezy

Not really a surprise since this is our mother tongue and since the last crowdfunding campaign made this work possible. Still, it’s an important milestone for us because this is first time Eyrolles publishes this book under a free license from the start.

The book is thus available as a paperback in all (good) bookstores as well as an e-book that you can read online and download.

Spanish: El libro del administrador de Debian

The Spanish translation team lead by Matías Bellone worked very hard to get back to 100% of translated strings and you can now enjoy the result.

Let us thank the translators:

• Matías Bellone
• Adrià García-Alzórriz
• Rene Saavedra
• all the persons who contributed to the translation of the former version of the book

Crowdfunding campaign for the Arabic translation

Muhammad Saied is currently running a crowdfunding campaign to gather the $4500 required to let him and Mohamed Amine complete the translation.
