Research direction

Start from README.fr.md or README.es.md as the structure to copy, and compare against README.md, the English source. Create README.am.md, translate only the prose while leaving commands, code blocks, links and badges untouched, then add the አማርኛ link to the language bar in every README*.md. Done when README.am.md exists and every README*.md shows the new language link. The issue asks for a native or fluent speaker, so a newcomer who is not one should ask for review before opening a pull request.

Description

area: docs good first issue translation

gknowledge works offline and without a paid API key, which makes it useful where data is expensive or connectivity is patchy. A README in Amharic (አማርኛ) would help readers in Ethiopia discover it.

Task

  1. Copy README.fr.md or README.es.md (the short translated READMEs) to README.am.md, using the English README as the source text.
  2. Translate the prose. Keep commands, code blocks, links and badges unchanged.
  3. Add <a href="README.am.md">አማርኛ</a> to the language bar at the top of every README*.md.

Please write it yourself as a native or fluent speaker: machine-translated PRs will be asked for revisions. Comment here to claim the issue.
