Hello and Greetings to everyone in the Loomio Translators group.
We're please to announce that we have a little bit of money (up to $1500 NZD) to spend each month for the next 4 months to support people to translate Loomio into their native language.
I've heard from a few people willing to translate Loomio but sometimes the translation does not reach completion, and sometimes we need to review the quality of translations.
So I'd like to first start a discussion with interested people about what they think the most important work to do is, then we can decide together how to allocate the money to achieve more consistent language support in Loomio.
I also want to say thank you to those people who have been volunteering their time to support Loomio translation. It's something I feel grateful for every day. If you wish to apply for funding please do speak up.

Translation into Ukrainian is almost complete. But there are no Reviewers in our team. Perhaps it would be worth paying for the review to the company that specializes in translations.

@robertguthrie I have a proposal for you. I will finish the italian translation and with the money you'll give for the translation I wish to create a fund to make a WP Loomio plugin.

Hi Marco, thanks for the generous offer and creative suggestion. I'm open to it. This months funding is allocated now, but let's take the time between now and next month to clearly define what this integration would do, so we're ready to go then.

Hi all,
Great to hear that things are moving forward. I offer my services both as a translator, for keeping translating Loomio into Spanish, and as a software developer, for this interesting integration in WP. We can talk about the details in the next months. Exciting times!

That's great. Do you need any help with getting started on Spanish?
Can you tell me about your experience as a WP developer?

Re translation: no, I have already contributed before, but thank you!
Re development: sure, pm you.

@pau13 Wordpress can be an OAUTH2 server using a plugin. https://it.wordpress.org/plugins/oauth2-provider/ IMHO that could be useful using Loomio APIs

Hi,
This was 6 months ago. How are things going? Is it moving forward? Do we need to move it forward? What are the next steps?
We need to define the requirements and start working on it!
Thanks, Paula.

Working on a Norwegian translation, but still have a little way to go. I try to recommend Loomio to organizations and activist all the time.
