Translation

Overview

We need to look at people, tools, priorities, jobs.

Team

(In time there could be a table, sortable by language. Help if you can.)

• LucasG - Spanish
• Elifarley - Portuguese

We need to find ways to engage "one shot" translators who won't work inside a team: people who are interested in some specific page for a specific language, not in translations in general. We can see it as a grid: some are interested in lines (one language), some in rows (some domain), some in cells (a specific page for a specific language). In time, some may even be interested in curating domain dictionaries ("shaft" is not a word I normally use so I don't know what it is in Spanish).
