Lemmy

In order to make Lemmy more accessible to people who don't speak English, we have decided to hire some translators for the documentation. Specifically, we are looking for people capable of translating into the following languages:

• ~~Spanish~~
• ~~Russian~~
• Chinese (simplified)

The following documents need to be translated:

1. Lemmy documentation (section 1, 2, 3)

• Code of conduct is already translated
• The English folder is here.

2. Readmes:

• Lemmy
• Lemmy-Docs

3. join.lemmy.ml website

To apply, you should be a native speaker (or equivalent) in the target language. it is not necessary that you are a professional translator. But you should have some experience (for example, from translating open source projects), and some basic technical knowledge. You can also do the work as a group, as long as one person takes responsibility for receiving and distributing the money.

Payment will be made in Ethereum (or another cryptocurrency). Making a contract for this would be impractical, as we all live in different countries. Instead we will send you a portion of the payment on advance, and the rest once work is completed.

Please send an email with the following details to [email protected]:

• Subject: "Lemmy Docs Translation (Spanish)" (replace with your language)
• Previous translation work
• Estimated payment to complete the work.
  • Alternatively: hourly wage and estimated time to complete it.
  • Any currency is fine, if it is stable (so not Ethereum)
• Your Matrix account

Even if your langauge is not included here, you can already start to translate the respective items via Weblate and Github.
