Below you will find source files for the Scratch Support materials. You can look for previously translated versions on the Languages page. To translate Scratch software or website, go to the main Translation page.
The latest version of Scratch is 1.4 (released in July 2009). If you have translated a document for Scratch 1.4, please email it to us at help
scratch [dot] mit [dot] edu so we can make it available to everyone. You can use the same address to ask questions (English only). To discuss translations in your language, post questions in the "Scratch in Other Languages" forum. Thank you very much for your help!
