+ +**Did you know?** In German, every noun is capitalized, not just proper names. +Words like Schlange (snake), Zeit (time), and Spaß (fun) always begin with a +capital letter when used as nouns, even in the middle of a sentence! +This capitalization can also help distinguish words that otherwise look identical, +such as essen (“to eat”) and Essen (“food” or the city of Essen). + +## Help wanted + +Python’s documentation is available in many other languages too, and these +translations depend on contributors to keep them accurate and up to date. +If you’d like to help translate or maintain Python documentation in your language, +see the translation guide in the [Python Developer’s Guide](https://devguide.python.org/documentation/translations/translating/#translating) +and the [Translation dashboard](https://translations.python.org).
