Research direction
The main file to translate is README.md in the repository root. Check if there is a pattern for translations (e.g., a translations folder). Review existing comments in the issue for any specific requirements or preferences on how the translation should be presented. Consider creating a separate file like README pidgin.md and linking from the main README if appropriate.
