DEAR SIR, DEAR MADAME,

I made these translations (patch) independently and for free in compliance with source-book license. Unfortunately no files with pot, po, mo, webml, etc. filename extensions are available: I have shared these translations and their sources only in PDF and TXT in compliance with source-book license. You can use TXT files for diff-like applications. I’m sorry, I can’t help you any more than that.

For economic reasons I cannot test all the services described in the source-book. I’ll update it to Buster soon (if my free time allows it).

In order to allow fixes and improvements, the patch (as a starting point for native italian speakers) has a similar layout (table of contents and page numbering) of the source-book. In order to help the readers, using the following ISO characters: [ ], I have added some tips about the terms in technical language (for instance: “deployment”, “NP-complete", “TCO”, “Disaster recovery”, etc.), that the authors have simply mentioned in the source-book.

You can use my translations to check the difficulties of a standard user who has not studied data science.

I suggest that a Italian data science expert undertake a thorough review of my patch of source-book for native Italian speakers: I’m sorry to tell you that some of the topics covered are beyond the capabilities of an “experienced Debian” translator. In the official translation, several fundamental concepts have been misinterpreted. And sure… probably in my patch too.

My PDF patch, for its source-book-like layout, will make it easier to review than just a trivial file.po. The pdf files can also be printed and compared with the paperback version of the source-book. And no time will be wasted on editing. Furthermore and only if necessary, the authors and the data science expert will be able to communicate with a single translator. Translator that basically serves only to make the “magic” of the data science expert faster than it would be if he were alone. With this patch I think I’ve already facilitated the “magic” more than anyone.

Finally, the highlighted technical terms in my patch may eventually be fixed, translated in English and integrated as notes in a new edition of the source-book.

My patch respects and imposes the constraints of the source-book license.

During the translation process, I haven’t used tools like google translator and I’m sorry to say that I didn’t take into account the official translation.

I reserve the right to evaluate or reject any collaboration proposal. Italian data science expert doesn’t need to be a member or contributor of the Debian community. The invitation is open to everyone and to any entity (public or private) or community (free software or not) in the world.

PS. Several services are described in the source-book, some of which are designated for other distributions (eg. Fedora). The review could be an opportunity for collaboration with other communities and further promotion of Debian.
