This is a meta issue. We could use people translating the sample tweets and sample email about the Outreachy internships to other languages.

We know we get many applicants from:

  • Brazil - Brazilian Portuguese is needed
  • India
  • Russia
  • Germany

You can see statistics on where applicants came from on this blog post

I would like to contribute to any of the above listed language translations but I don't understand/speak any of those languages. Is it okay if I rely on google translation to translate it?

@gconnect Please only translate to a language you speak. Google translate is often not accurate, especially when it comes to cultural nuances like how to translate the word "genderqueer". You're welcome to translate resources to a different language than the ones listed above.
