Why should I participate?<\/h2>\n

Translating WordPress and all its plugins and themes into dozens of languages and many more regions is a huge job<\/strong>. The WordPress Polyglots team is mainly community-driven and thus needs your help as a native speaker.

It doesn\u2019t matter if you are a beginner or experienced WordPress user!<\/p>\n

The Global WordPress Translation Day<\/strong> is the perfect event to introduce\u00a0you\u00a0to the whole idea, the projects and the community.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s going on?<\/h2>\n

There will be live training sessions streaming 24 hours, containing tutorials about translating WordPress into different languages including general instructions and specifications\u00a0for your particular language. You can find\u00a0the session schedule on the website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There will also be some local and remote translation contributor days, where you can jump right in and contribute with your first translations, led by experienced WordPress translators and i18n experts.<\/p>\n

About WordPress<\/h2>\n

WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing and with fewer users than you can count on your fingers and toes. Since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on millions of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day.<\/p>\n

Everything you see here, from the documentation to the code itself, was created\u00a0by and for the community<\/strong>. WordPress is an\u00a0Open Source<\/a>\u00a0project, which means there are hundreds of people all over the world working on it. It also means that you are free to use it for anything you want: from your\u00a0recipe site\u00a0to a\u00a0Fortune 500 website – without paying anyone a license fee! Plus\u00a0a number of other freedoms<\/a>!<\/p>\n
