Hello,
Thanks for your interest in contributing to the php documentation. While I
am not a decision maker, Christopher's earlier answer to a similar question
regarding a new translation in Farsi is instructional:
trying to tackle a new translation is a lot of work (really!).
I suggest
that you create a new translation repository as a fork of
<https://github.com/php/doc-en> (there is no *need* to have your repo on
Github), and then start with the translation, trying to get other
contributors interested in this to help. When you get to the point
where at least the most relevant pages (maybe around 10%) have been
translated to Farsi, write to the list so that the repository can be
moved to <https://github.com/php/doc-fa> and integrated to the PHP
manual. Note though, that an initial translation needs to be
maintained; mostly kept up to date, but also extended with new page
translations.
