 ## Structure
 
-Every chapter, article or a task has its folder.
+Every chapter, an article or a task resides in its own folder.
 
-The folder is named like `N-url`, where `N` is a number for the sorting purposes and `url` is the URL part with title of the material.
+The folder is named `N-url`, where `N` – is the number for sorting (articles are ordered), and `url` is the URL-slug on the site.
 
-The type of the material is defined by the file inside the folder:
+The folder has one of files:
 
-  - `index.md` stands for a chapter
-  - `article.md` stands for an article
-  - `task.md` stands for a task (solution must be provided in `solution.md` file aswell)
+- `index.md` for a section,
+- `article.md` for an article,
+- `task.md` for a task formulation (+`solution.md` with the solution text if any).
 
-Each of these files starts from the `# Main header`.
+A file starts with the `# Title Header`, and then the text in Markdown-like format, editable in a simple text editor. 
 
-It's very easy to add something new.
+Additional resources and examples for the article or the task, are also in the same folder.
+
+## Translation Tips
+
+Please keep line breaks and paragraphs "as is": don't add newlines and don't remove existing ones. Makes it easy to merge future changes from the English version into the translation. 
+
+If you see that the English version can be improved – great, please send a PR to it.
+
+### Terms
+
+- Some specification terms are not to be translated, e.g. "Function Declaration" can be left "as is".
+- For other terms like `resolved promise`, `slash`, `regexp`, and so on look a good glossary, hopefully there's one for your language already.
+    - If there's no dictionary, look for translations in manuals, such as [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/).
+
+### Text in Code Blocks
+
+- Translate comments.
+- Translate user-messages and example strings.
+- Don't translate variables, classes, identifiers.
+- Ensure that the code works after the translation :)
+
+Example:
+
+```js
+// Example
+const text = "Hello, world";
+document.querySelector('.hello').innerHTML = text;
+```
+
+✅ DO (translate comment):
+
+```js
+// Ejemplo
+const text = 'Hola mundo';
+document.querySelector('.hello').innerHTML = text;
+```
+
+❌ DON'T (translate class):
+
+```js
+// Ejemplo
+const text = 'Hola mundo';
+// ".hello" is a class
+// DO NOT TRANSLATE
+document.querySelector('.hola').innerHTML = text;
+```
+
+### External Links
+
+If an external link is to Wikipedia, e.g. `https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript`, and a version of that article exists in your language that is of decent quality, link to that version instead.
+
+Example:
+
+```md
+[JavaScript](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript) is a programming language.
+```
+
+✅ OK (en -> es):
+
+```md
+[JavaScript](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript) es un lenguaje de programación.
+```
+
+For links to MDN, a partially translated version is ok.
+
+If a linked article has no translated version, leave the link "as is".
+
+### Metadata
+
+Some files, usually tasks, have YAML metadata at the top, delimited by `---`:
+
+```md
+importance: 5
 
 ---
-💓  
-Ilya Kantor @iliakan
+...
+```
+
+Please don't translate "importance" (and other top metadata).
+
+### Anchors
+
+Some headers have `[#anchor]` at the end, e.g.
+
+```md
+## Spread operator [#spread-operator]
+```
+
+Please don't translate or remove the `[#...]` part, it's for URL anchors.
+
+## Running locally
+
+You can run the tutorial server locally to see how the translation looks.
+
+The server and install instructions are at <https://github.com/javascript-tutorial/server>.
