.. note:: This documentation is translated from the `original English one
<https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable>`_ by community members
on `Weblate <https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/godot-engine/godot-docs>`_.
Depending on the translation effort's completion level, you may
find paragraphs or whole pages which are still in English. You can
help the community by providing new translations or reviewing existing
ones on Weblate.
For the time being, localized translations are only available for
the "stable" branch. You can still view the English documentation for
other engine versions using the "Read the Docs" panel at the bottom
of the sidebar.
