We firmly believe that the strength of the deepin operating system lies not only in its outstanding features but also in its vibrant overseas communities. Among these, the Spanish-speaking community, deepin en Español, holds a significant position. Over the years, this community has played an indispensable role in bringing the deepin operating system to Spanish-speaking users worldwide, embodying the spirit of collaboration, innovation, and inclusivity. Today, we would like to introduce deepin en Español and express our sincere gratitude for their ongoing dedication.
The Origin and Growth of the deepin en Español Community
The deepin en Español community was established in early 2015 as a small, amateur project. Thanks to the passionate efforts of its members, it quickly grew into the official community for Spanish-speaking deepin users. The community’s journey began with a Google+ group, where it swiftly gained followers and became an important platform for deepin users in Spain and Latin America.
As the community expanded, so did its influence. By 2016, deepin en Español had become a key partner within the deepin ecosystem, contributing to the development of the operating system and ensuring that Spanish-speaking users could easily access deepin. During this period, community members joined the deepin internal testing team, providing valuable feedback and suggestions that helped the operating system better meet the needs of international users.
One of the most notable achievements during this phase was the community’s involvement in translating the deepin operating system into Spanish. This effort eventually led to the launch of the official deepin Spanish website (https://xn--deepinenespaol-1nb.org/), making it easier for millions of users in Spanish-speaking regions to use deepin. Additionally, the creation of the deepines repository (which later evolved into the deepines store) marked a significant milestone in the community’s development.
Major Projects of deepin en Español
1、deepines Store: Enhancing the deepin Experience
The deepines store is one of the most important contributions of the deepin en Español community. This supplementary app store and repository offers a range of applications and updates that are not available in the official deepin repositories. Each software package in the deepines store is managed by the community's development team and undergoes rigorous testing to ensure compatibility with the deepin operating system.
Since its launch, the deepines store has become a vital resource for deepin users, offering more than 280 software packages, including popular and niche applications. The store's interface is user-friendly, and its content is continually updated to meet the evolving needs of the deepin community, providing users with a rich software experience.
2、Spanish deepin Mirror: Enhancing Usability and Speed
Recognizing the need for better accessibility and faster download speeds for users in Spain, Latin America, and other parts of Europe, the deepin en Español community established its own package mirror. This mirror syncs twice daily with the official deepin servers in China, ensuring that users have access to the latest content.
The Spanish deepin mirror has proven to be an important resource for the community, with performance comparable to the most efficient servers worldwide. It not only serves as a reliable backup to the official repository but also provides users with detailed instructions to resolve any issues they may encounter during installation or updates. This initiative reflects the community’s commitment to improving the overall user experience and ensuring that deepin is accessible to everyone.
3、Spanish Translation Team: Bridging the Language Gap
The Spanish translation team within deepin en Español has played a crucial role in making deepin widely accepted by Spanish-speaking users. From translating the user interface and desktop environment to ensuring that all official deepin publications are available in Spanish, the team has made deepin truly accessible to Spanish-speaking users.
Their work extends beyond the operating system itself, including the deepin official website and related documentation. By actively participating in the translation process through platforms like Transifex, the team ensures that every update and new feature of the deepin operating system is promptly translated, allowing users to experience the latest updates without language barriers. The ongoing contributions of the Spanish translation team have fostered the growth of the deepin user base in Spanish-speaking regions. Additionally, the team has established a glossary to better coordinate phrases.
4、deepin Latin Code Development Team
The deepin Latin Code development team has been at the forefront of innovation within the deepin en Español community. These teams have contributed to the development of native software tailored specifically for the deepin distribution. The scope of the team’s projects ranges from creating custom applications that enhance the functionality of the operating system to developing community-driven initiatives to meet the unique needs of Spanish-speaking users. The contributions of deepin Latin Code have not only enriched the deepin ecosystem but also provided users with tools and features that cater to their specific needs.

Additionally, the community website includes a news and technology blog, where the community regularly shares the latest news and scientific developments, helping users stay informed about the technological trends shaping the modern world. To assist users in navigating the deepin operating system, the community has also established a Spanish-language deepin Wiki, which offers over 800 technical guide articles.
