+We’re excited to announce that the Python documentation is now available in [Persian (فارسی)](https://docs.python.org/fa/3/)! 🎉
+
+A huge thank you to everyone who contributed their time and expertise to the
+translation effort. Community contributions like these help make Python more
+accessible to people around the world.
+
+**Did you know?** Many letters in the Persian script change shape depending on
+where they appear in a word. A letter may have isolated, initial, medial, and
+final forms while still representing the same character! See the [W3C's
+Arabic & Persian Layout Requirements, section 4.3.1, Joining Forms](https://www.w3.org/TR/alreq/#h_joining_forms),
+for more information.
+
+## Help wanted
+
+Python’s documentation is available in many other languages too, and these
+translations depend on contributors to keep them accurate and up to date.
+If you’d like to help translate or maintain Python documentation in your language,
+see the translation guide in the [Python Developer’s Guide](https://devguide.python.org/documentation/translations/translating/#translating)
