Let’s break down language barriers. Help translate publiclab.org!

[Liz Barry]

Hi everyone, 

Thanks to Jitesh's great work in Google Summer of Code, it's now possible to translate publiclab.org's dropdown menus, footer, alert messages, etc, into your own preferred language(s).

Visit https://publiclab.org/wiki/translation and see the options for getting involved. 

There’s 

1) no coding experience necessary 

and 

2) no commitment to translate even a single word.

Why this effort?

• Have you ever wished PublicLab.org was in your preferred language? 
• Have you browsed Spanish language posts on https://publiclab.org/tag/lang:es, and wondered when all the menus and sidebars could be in other languages too?
• Are you unsatisfied with the quality of translation your web browser can provide?

How are we going to accomplish this?

We’ve set up on a platform called Transifex. I wrote up several activities for Transifex that you can follow, such as

1. how to create an account: https://publiclab.org/notes/liz/10-26-2016/how-to-join-public-lab-s-transifex-project

2. how to find words and phrases to translate: https://publiclab.org/notes/liz/10-26-2016/translating-on-transifex

There are also more activities that you could explore, like reviewing what others have translated, or even becoming a manager of the project.
