+# ⚠ Beta Website ⚠
+We are currently transitioning our translation efforts to the new website that is currently in [Beta](https://github.com/reactjs/reactjs.org/issues/4135).
+
+We are early stages and still setting up everything, all the previous translation efforts are stopped. 
+
+Nothing is lost, all the translated content will be archived.
+
+As usual you can follow the progress [here (#1)](https://github.com/reactjs/it.reactjs.org/issues/1) and specifically for the transition [here (#328)](https://github.com/reactjs/it.reactjs.org/issues/328)
