 We now keep each translation in a separate repository.
 
 Since each translation is a different repository, we can also have different maintainers for each project.
-The Pro Git team simply pulls them in and builds them for the translation teams.

+### Your Language does not Exist
+
+Then you're lucky! You're gonna be the initiator of a new translation project!
+
+You can start to make your own version with the second edition in English, available here. To do so,
+
+ 1. Pick your the [ISO 639 code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) and create a GitHub organization, say `progit2-[your code]` on github
+ 2. Create a project progit2
+ 3. Copy the structure of progit/progit2 (this project) in your project and start translating. You can reuse some material from the first edition, but beware that:
+    1. the text has been reworked in numerous parts
+    2. the markup has changed from markdown to [asciidoc](http://asciidoc.org)
+ 4. Push to the new repo a few translated chapters
+ 5. Ping an organizer so that the second edition of Progit in your language is pushed on git-scm.com.
