Subject: PLJ's crowdsourcing translation project

Dear mas Angga, 

Ini Yulis dari Pulse Lab Jakarta. Semoga masih inget dengan saya. Waktu itu saya diperkenalkan sama Jonggun. Untuk follow up perkenalan waktu itu dengan ini saya ingin memberitahukan lebih detail crowdsourcing translation project kami. Detail bisa dilihat di bawah. 

And we need your help to spread the words tentang project ini di network mas. Target kami sebenarnya adalah anak muda yang memang lebih paham dengan web page dan game, karena di project ini kami memasukkan gamification didalamnya, tetapi kami juga terbuka untuk semua umur terlibat dalam project ini. 

You can use below email template for your network. Please don't hesitate to ask me to explain more about the project.

We are happy to share this news that today, Monday, 25th January 2016, Pulse Lab Jakarta launches Translator Gator (http://translator-gator.unglobalpulse.net), a crowdsourcing translation game open for everyone to translate SDG-related keywords and phrases in English to six Indonesian languages, i.e., Bahasa Indonesia, Jawa, Sunda, Bugis, Melayu, and Minang.

This project aims to:

• Support Global Pulse research related to sustainable development and humanitarian actions, 
• Raise the awareness of Sustainable Development Goals in Indonesia, and
• Work closely with research society, specifically Indonesian computational linguistic communities, by sharing translated words and conducting joint research projects.

A user or participant will be randomly asked to:

(a) translate a SDG-related word/phrase to an Indonesian language, 

(b) suggest an alternative word/phrase given a translation, 

(c) invite to evaluate a translation, and 

(d) classify a word/phrase to multiple categories. 

Based on user's contribution, user may be entitled to receive phone credit. 

We are grateful for your support to amplify this message to a wider audience.

Please also find attached Translator Gator's General Information & Social Media Kit and Blog post for your perusal.
