== What is Crowdin == | |||
The Open Food Facts [https://world.openfoodfacts.org/ website] & [https://world.openfoodfacts.org/open-food-facts-mobile-app app] are/can be available in 149 languages. | |||
That’s a lot to manage ! 😅 | |||
[https://crowdin.com/project/openfoodfacts '''Crowdin'''] is a translation management system. | |||
As you can see on the image, some languages have been widely translated, while others still need a push. | |||
Crowdin offers the possibility for translators to: | |||
* work independently, | |||
* translate at their own pace, | |||
* choose what content they want etc. | |||

'''Let as many different nationalities benefit from the Open Food Facts database in their native language !''' | |||

=== Step 3 - Select the language === | |||
Choose the language you want to translate into. | |||
'''The source language is always English.''' | |||
=== Step 4 - Select a document to translate === | |||
Once you’ve clicked on a specific language (flag), you’ll be taken to a page with a list of docs/content. | |||
The % of its translation is also shown (how much has already been translated by other translators). It’s a team effort ! 🤝 | |||
Select one & click on it ([https://crowdin.com/project/openfoodfacts/sv-SE Swedish example]) | |||

=== Step 5 - Job done ! === | |||
Fantastic, you’ve completed your first translation ! 👏👏👏 | |||
Please note that the deployment of the translated content is not automatic. | |||
So it may take a bit of time for the translation manager to deploy it. | |||
Meanwhile, you can translate more 😉 . | |||
'''''Thank you for making useful content useful to millions of people !''''' | |||
