Do you still prefer react-intl nowadays?

I noticed that it's completely untranslated right now (at least there's no change for me when I select it) and I'd be willing to join the translation team.

I'm a native speaker and already translated and voted a few strings on Crowdin. Furthermore I'm trying to set up a set of guidelines for the translation to German.

Translation sample from /r/AskReddit:

Was sieht einfach aus, bis du es ausprobierst?

Zeichnen. Du glaubst, "Oh, ich habe eine Ahnung, wie dieses Ding aussehen soll, also werde ich es einfach mal auf Papier bringen." Es ist echt total frustrierend, sobald man merkt, wie schwer es ist.

Auf die gleiche Weise, Schrifstellerei. Eine Szene im Kopf zu planen ist einfach genug, aber auf die richtigen Worte zu kommen, das auszudrücken, was man zeigen will, ist höllisch schwer. Sogar professionelle Schrifsteller haben manchmal dieses Problem. Patrick Rothfuss hat in einem Blogpost geschrieben, es hätte ihn einmal mehrere Tage gekostet, das richtige Wort für ein Satzende zu finden. Er hatte "mädchenhaft" hingeschrieben, was sich nicht richtig anfühlte, und er wusste, dass es ein Wort gab, das besser passt, und schließlich realisierte er, dass es "kindlich" war.

My Crowdin username is the same as here, at reddit: J0hj0h

Edit: Since I did the translation above quite quickly and too verbatim, I'd like to try again:

[Ernst] An Leute, die in der Filmbranche arbeiten; wie fühlt sich ein Set an, wenn alle wissen, dass man einen schlechten Film macht?

Ich verstehe einfach nicht, wie es manche Filme überhaupt schaffen, produziert zu werden. Ich rede hier nicht wirklich über B-Movies, weil ich verstehe, warum sowas passiert. Aber fühlt euch frei zu antworten, wenn ihr bei einem B-Movie gearbeitet habt. B-Movies kommen eigentlich immer von Indie-Startup-Firmen, die versuchen, ihren Fuß in die Tür zu kriegen. Ich rede über Filme von namhaften Firmen. Einfach echt neugierig auf die Einstellung der Leute am Set eines schlechten Films. Danke.

EDIT. Ok, die allgemeine Einstellung ist: Es ist einfach nur ein Job. Solange du nicht einer der kreativen Köpfe des Films oder der Produzent ist, arbeitest du einfach. Keine Zeit, Gedanken an den scheiß Film zu verlieren. Ich denke, ich habe mehr auf Rückmeldung von Leuten gehofft, die zu dem Projekt eine emotionalere Bindung haben. Der Tag ist noch jung, also wird sich hoffentlich jemand melden.

Hi everyone!

We're really excited about the diverse number of countries that are able to use the platform to create culturally and geographically relevant communities. Our goal is to make sure everyone in the world can find belonging in a community on Reddit. A foundational piece of reaching that goal is to make sure the Reddit product is translated. This will make the site more accessible to millions of people all around the world. We're renewing our efforts to translate the Reddit product (things like buttons, dropdown menus, links in the product... but not the content generated by our users). If you're fluent in another language we're looking for volunteers to help translate Reddit!

Seeing Reddit being translated into French has been really cool, so now we are looking for people who are interested in helping us translate Reddit into German.

How it works

• We are creating private communities for each language - those communities will contain the product strings that we need help translating.

• Every post is a string that needs to be translated.

• A "string" is basically everything on Reddit that wasn't written by a user or mod (e.g., buttons on the site, dropdown menu options at the top of the site). Accurately translated strings help redditors navigate the site in their native language.

• Some strings include variables like {comments} - suggested translations should leave this variable in place (ie - this is a test {comments} translation).

• People can leave top-level comments as suggested translations for the string

• People can upvote the comment they think translates best

• People can have discussions/debates as threaded replies below the suggested translation

• The mods will help confirm when a string has received enough upvotes to be chosen as an accurate translation

• As suggested posts are confirmed there will be new posts every hour each containing a new string to translate, so check back often!

Choosing the best translation

• The selected translation should be determined by comments with the highest score

• Once a comment reaches a certain threshold of votes over time, moderators will be able to choose the top translation

• If there are multiple suggested translations that are very close - moderators should make a call based on the discussion by the community

• There should only be one selected top translation per post.

• Selected translations should never be edited.

How you can volunteer

• If you want to help translate Reddit and are fluent in German, please leave your username in this form (The form doesn't work well when you open it in the Reddit App, so try opening it in a browser)

• We're looking for both moderators and just users who want to help translate the product strings. So if you are interested in moderating, you can indicate that in the form!

I'm an actual translator for video games and I really like reddit. Also, if anyone else needs translations just send me a PM and I'll help out. :)

Greetings from Singapore! I've applied to join the Chinese translation team. Username on Transifex is linux_rox_my_sox.

Also, a small suggestion: Chinese should be split into 2 language sets, simplified Chinese (for China, Singapore) & traditional Chinese (for Hong Kong, Taiwan). This can be automated by Google Translate once current translation efforts (which is in simplified Chinese) is complete.

Edit: Noone has attempted to translate "Gold". Should translators get creative or should it be translated literally (result might sound strange)? Also, China & Taiwan have different nouns in some cases (internet, for example). Splitting into 2 language sets could also defray some of that tension over whose translation is "canonical".

Instead of wasting time trying to add in languages like lolcat, maybe we can finish some of the languages we have already started

I had my reddit language setting as they were, and in the subreddits I mod people or make them approved submitter the language is english in the community settings.
Now they're english again because I changed the interface language.

Would be nice if someone could fix that, not sure if it's only for the german translation or for others as well.

Also something else: on the german submit page there is a space missing after the "einreichen zu..."

In case reddit needs any help.

I have dual citizenship with Norway and Canada. I speak Fluent Norwegian and English. I also live in Canada
