Contributing to Spyder

Code contributions

Spyder will always be 💯% open source software, free for all to use and released under the liberal terms of the MIT license.

While the whole team does its best to work efficiently, we are always in need of contributors and developers to improve our project. You can find our contributing guide here. It will help you to set up a development environment and start doing your own contributions to the project.

Translating Spyder 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🇪🇸

Spyder code and main documentation is written in English and will continue this way for its (hopefully long) lifetime. However, in order to reach more users in need of a powerful python development environment there is opportunity to translate the documentation and the interface into different languages.

If you want to know more information on how to provide translations for the documentation and/or the interface, please visit this section
