German Translation and Redesign of 'Introduction to WordPress' Lesson.

Welcome to the repository for the German translation and redesign of the "Introduction to WordPress" lesson. This project is dedicated to enhancing accessibility to WordPress learning resources for German-speaking audiences by providing translated and culturally adapted content. As part of the Open Educational Resources (OER) initiative, this repository ensures that educational materials are freely available and adaptable, promoting lifelong learning and knowledge sharing.

By leveraging the power of WordPress as an open-source community, this project not only facilitates the dissemination of knowledge but also empowers individuals to contribute and improve the content collaboratively. The open-source nature of this repository guarantees that changes and updates can be independently verified and implemented by anyone, ensuring the content remains relevant and up-to-date. This collaborative approach embodies the spirit of open-source and OER, fostering a community-driven effort to make education more inclusive and universally accessible.
