# PHP Manual Contribution Guide
## Introduction
PHP is well known for having excellent documentation. Documentation that is created by volunteers who
collectively make changes every day. This guide is designed for people who work on the official PHP documentation.
## Glossary
This guide uses some terminology that you have to know. Don't worry, it's easy:
- **author** - person who contributes to the original English manual
- **translator** - person who translates the English manual into another language
- **{LANG}** - replace it with your two-letter country code, (e.g. when referring
to a mailinglist, `doc-{LANG}@lists.php.net`). Note: Brazilian Portuguese differs
from the rest and it's called *pt_br* for the Git repo and *pt-br* for the
mailing list suffix.
