Translation Project 2021
Hi everyone!
We have a new translations project structure in place for all translation efforts in 2021!
Here is an overview:
-
Interested in being a translator? Translators are fluent in their languages and are dedicated to help globalize 7 Cups. Translators are now welcome to apply to language projects who have leaders who will help coordinate the translation efforts. Currently, we have the following language options: Malay, Russian, Romanian, Hindi, Greek, Korean, Chinese, French (CA) (Simplified) Arabic, Japanese, and Hebrew. You can join these translation teams by viewing the application here.
-
Interested but fluent in other languages? Consider being a translation project leader! See below for the main efforts/requirements translation project leaders bring to the projects. We are looking for project leaders in the following language(s): French, but you can apply for other languages as well - apply through the same form above.
-
Your application will be processed and you will be added to the translation project. Translators will be on a Trial for 2 weeks of activity to show their commitment, after which they will receive the Translator badge which allows access to the translation team chatrooms. The Trial will be automatically tracked.
-
Your translation team leader will be the point of contact for team goals, other information, as well as any communication such as about breaks etc.
-
Be part of the globalization effort and after the project is finished, you have the chance to receive certification for your efforts!
Note August 2021: You are now allowed to apply to projects despite them not having a leader/an active lead but we will still consider applications for Translation Project Leaders if interested.
Overview for Translation Project Leaders:
-
100% fluent in their respective languages.

Proactively available to help coordinate translation efforts.
-
Ready to set goals for the team.

Proofread translations to ensure accuracy and completion.
i am fluent in german and the ex-yugoslawia languages (bosnian, croatian, serbian etc) However i am not sure if i can be a leader because i have a job that sometimes require to much time. If anyone applies as a leader i would really like to help, feel free to message me if something pops up.

Hi, may I ask how heavy the responsibility for this project will be? For instance, how much material each person would need to work on each week?
In addition, would there be any consequence if we join but then we make wrong translations before our work is checked and edited by the group leader?
Thank you in advance.
@11820Read Hi there! The project is very flexible and so you can contribute as much as you can, all we ask is to be active at least once a week or inform your leader for breaks etc. As for translations, you only need to translate what you feel you can accurately translate from the list of untranslated items -- you can also use the group communication forum thread to discuss translations if ever needed
@SoulfullyAButterfly
Great! And thank you for taking time to answer my questions. I think I'll give it a try.

I applied to volunteer by submitting the form some weeks ago but have never received an e-mail regarding it. What may be the possible causes (such as all spots are taken, the project is no longer ongoing, etc)? Thank you in advance.
