Help us translate blog.com
... or the blog.com tower of babel. Try out the new blog.com application, babel, and help us get a perfect translation of blog.com to your native language.
We regularly receive requests for localized versions of blog.com. Suprisingly, we also regularly receive offers for help translating blog.com. This is fantastic:
- There are no better translators than native speakers of any given language.
- It provides us with the ability to have blog.com translated into about every language out there
- Definitely proves we have the best users in the world (all over the world, by the way).
Our best answer to this suprise is to empower every blog.com author to help with translation, with a new application in our suite. You don't need any approval from us. If you have the desire to help, head over to http://babel.blog.com/ sign in with your blog.com account, and translate away. The application allows you to either translate new strings, or review work from others -- including translations we have already outsourced.
We give away premium blog.com accounts for relevant work in translation. If you think you are entitled to one, post a message to our support team.
Note that we will also keep going on with the paid translation effort, integrated with public work created in babel. If the quality of work provided via babel is good enough, we may start posting paid work orders here for translators to pick up.
