Moved CONTRIBUTING.md, CONTRIBUTING_I18N_DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md, and CONTRIBUTING_TRANSLATIONS.md from apps/web to the repo root so they are discoverable at the standard location GitHub surfaces (Contributing tab, new-PR sidebar) and apply to the whole monorepo, not just apps/web.

While I was in there I fixed some tale references:

  • pnpm --filter @meshtastic/web filters resolve to the root workspace package, not the app; should be meshtastic-web.
  • Repo structure block described the pre-monorepo /packages/web layout; updated to the current /apps + /packages split.
  • i18n guide links used absolute GitHub URLs into packages/web/; use relative links now that the files sit next to each other.
  • i18n developer guide referenced /packages/web/public/i18n/...; the path is now /apps/web/public/i18n/....
  • LICENSE link is now ./LICENSE (was ../../LICENSE).

Root README gains a Contributing section pointing at the moved files; apps/web README's contributing link updated to the root path.

Checklist

  • Code follows project style guidelines
  • Documentation has been updated or added
  • Tests have been added or updated
  • All i18n translation labels have been added (read
    CONTRIBUTING_I18N_DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md for more details)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated contribution instructions to reflect the current project structure and development commands.
    • Added a guide for contributing translations, including onboarding and language activation requirements.
    • Corrected internationalization and contribution guide links.
    • Added a contributing section to the main README.

Move CONTRIBUTING.md, CONTRIBUTING_I18N_DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md, and
CONTRIBUTING_TRANSLATIONS.md from apps/web to the repo root so they are
discoverable at the standard location GitHub surfaces (Contributing tab,
new-PR sidebar) and apply to the whole monorepo, not just apps/web.

While in there, fix stale references in the moved files:
- `pnpm --filter @meshtastic/web ...` filters resolve to the root
  workspace package, not the app; use `meshtastic-web`.
- Repo structure block described the pre-monorepo `/packages/web` layout;
  updated to the current `/apps` + `/packages` split.
- i18n guide links used absolute GitHub URLs into `packages/web/`; use
  relative links now that the files sit next to each other.
- i18n developer guide referenced `/packages/web/public/i18n/...`; the
  path is now `/apps/web/public/i18n/...`.
- LICENSE link is now `./LICENSE` (was `../../LICENSE`).

Root README gains a Contributing section pointing at the moved files;
apps/web README's contributing link updated to the root path.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates contributor documentation for the current monorepo layout and workspace name. It adds Crowdin translation guidance, corrects internationalization paths, and links contributor resources from the root and web application READMEs.

Changes

Contributor Documentation Refresh

Layer / File(s) Summary
Monorepo contributor documentation
CONTRIBUTING.md, CONTRIBUTING_I18N_DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md, apps/web/README.md
Commands, package paths, internationalization paths, license links, and contribution links now match the current repository layout.
Translation guidance and navigation
CONTRIBUTING_TRANSLATIONS.md, README.md
Crowdin translation instructions were added. The root README now links to contributor, commit, translation, and internationalization guides.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1ae88

Several contributor instructions still point to outdated workspace commands or paths, which could cause setup confusion for contributors. The risk is bounded and the PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to update those references.

Poem

A rabbit hops through docs so neat,
With workspace paths aligned and sweet.
Crowdin trails now clearly show,
Where translations need to go.
Links point home with every beat!

Complete the stale-reference sweep for the monorepo move.

The contributor entry points now use the new root layout, but related commands and paths still use the old layout.
