Piwik is looking for a translator coordinator: be part of the Piwik team!

Piwik is now ready to be translated. We have received dozens of emails from users from all over the world (french, italian, spanish, german, chinese, indonesian, thai, croatia, czech republic, ukranian, turkish, …). Thanks to everybody for the warm welcome.

To make this translation a reality, we are looking for a Translation Manager volunteer!

Description: Your role in the Piwik community would be to help Piwik get new translations.You would talk to the translators, make sure their translations are up to date whenever possible, help new translators to get started (which is easy anyway). When several people speaking the same language want to help us with translations, you would ask them to review the existing translation.

Time necessary: managing the internationalization of Piwik shouldn't take more than a few hours per month.

Outcome: working on a fast growing open source project, with a vibrant community, and see new translations added to Piwik thanks to your help!

Please leave a comment if you are interested, or contact us at hello at piwik.org

Thanks for your support!

    Just wondering if anyone have volunteered for translating into Norwegian? I love Piwik and would love to see a Norwegian translation. I don’t have time to do it since I’m in the middle of a university degree and have a marketing business to run. However, you never know – if no one else volunteers I might volunteer to do it.
