You can also provide a full or partial translation of the [http://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/README README file] to distribute with ScummVM. For partial translations there is [http://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/doc/translations/README-translation_template.txt template that can be used]. It allows translating the first two chapters of the english README (introduction and contacts).
You can also provide a translation of the [http://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/README README file] or of the [https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/doc/QuickStart QuickStart file] to distribute with ScummVM. The QuickStart file is actually an excerpt of the README file, so you can start by translating that file and later when you have more time translate the full README file.
