Adding a new Tanakh translation

What is the workflow for adding a new Tanakh translation? Is this repository open to pull requests? There is a new translation into Yiddish and I'm thinking about contacting the author for him to consider adding it to Sefaria under one of the supported licenses.

Hi, we've attempted contacting the translator in 2020. It's worth another try. Please reach out if you need more details. Sincerely, Shmuel Weissman MANAGER of TEXT ACQUISITION & TEXT QUALITY [email protected] | sefaria.org

Hi Shmuel,

I've contacted Dr. Katz and got a positive response (we collaborated with Dr. Katz on a different matter several years ago). What would be the next steps? What license would you recommend? Once we agree on the license with Dr. Katz, I'm ready to format the texts according to the template of other Tanakh translations in the current repository and submit a pull request.

The translation is a work-in-progress and focuses for now only on the Neviim and Ktuvim. More updates will appear later this year.

Best, Andrey
