Hello,  
I’ve been working on the translation of the p5.js website to portuguese, but I did not understand how to the reference section should work, it doesn’t have an english json file, but it has an es.json file, the parameters and return are like this.

```auto
    "alpha": {
      "description": "Extrai o valor de alpha de uma corem um array de pixels.",
      "params": ["Objeto: objeto p5.Color o arreglo de pixeles"],
      "returns": "o valor do alpha"
    },

```

but the english site is like this

could anyone explain how should I format it?

Thank you

I don’t know Portuguese but…

Keywords should still be in English, so `p5.Color` should still be `p5.Color`.

Oh, and good luck on the translations!
