Building Microservices translations on the way

Posted on Jul 30 2015

I've been extremely gratified that Building Microservices has found a good audience, and the feedback I've had so far has made all the work behind it very worthwhile. Ever since the book was made available in early access, barely a month or two has gone by without someone asking me about translations into different languages. Fortunately, today I have some good news.

As of today, there are plans to translate the book into 6 different languages, with at least one more being discussed. Here are the planned translations, and potential release dates:

• Chinese Complex (eta Q2 2016)
• Chinese Simplified (eta Q3 2016)
• German (eta Q2 2016)
• Japanese (eta Q1 2016)
• Korean (eta Q1 2016)
• Polish (eta Q2 2016)

Please note that these ETAs are indicative only, and all of this may change!

These translations are being done by local publishers, and for some of them the terms aren't quite finalised so I can't share the details of who will be doing the work yet, but when I can I'll provide all the details on this site.

For India, although most computer books are published in English, it is common practice for them to be republished locally to keep costs down, as shipping books from the US ends up resulting in a very expensive product for the local market. I haven't yet got confirmation if this is happening, but as and when I do I'll make sure to let you all know.

Finally, if you want details of translations into languages not mentioned here, and might even want to help with such a project, then please get in touch!
