Friedrich Schiller’s handwritten manuscript of An die Freude (“Ode to Joy”)

Friedrich Schiller’s handwritten manuscript of An die Freude (“Ode to Joy”).

Did you know? In German, every noun is capitalized, not just proper names. Words like Schlange (snake), Zeit (time), and Spaß (fun) always begin with a capital letter when used as nouns, even in the middle of a sentence! This capitalization can also help distinguish words that otherwise look identical, such as essen (“to eat”) and Essen (“food” or the city of Essen).

Help wanted

Python’s documentation is available in many other languages too, and these translations depend on contributors to keep them accurate and up to date. If you’d like to help translate or maintain Python documentation in your language, see the translation guide in the Python Developer’s Guide and the Translation dashboard.
