Do you have any plans to support (and accept contributions to) non-English books? It’ll be amazing to see original Russian classic texts redone with the same level of care.

This is a common request and the answer is unfortunately no. Typography varies across languages and we are only experts in English typography. People have tried to start up various SE-like projects for other languages, but as far as I know none have taken off.

Fair enough. Would you consider officially endorsing any such projects (e.g. with links on your website), for mutual benefit?

What about Latin, it uses the same typography as English.

SE has a lot of English-specific tooling if you look at their cli tool.
