Hi all,

The translation committee on Meta has been dormant for some time (individual members have been active, but the committee as such has not been active), but it is time to revive it to ensure that the translation process on Meta is viable. As several members of the committee are currently busy with other things, and because it would be nice to have several more members in the committee so that it will function well even when some members are inactive.

Therefore, this is a call for volunteers to serve on the committee. If you have any experience with handling translations on Meta, Translatewiki or anywhere else you are welcome to join. In fact, you don't need much more experience than with translating stuff – the new system and tools we have available on Meta make the process of managing translation much easier than it has been in the past (and if you don't know how to do that yet, we will show you how).

A further explanation of what the committee work consists of and its areas of work can be found on the new draft page for the committeehttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications_subcommittees/Trans/Revamp. We would like to have many new members on the committee, so that the work load for each member is not too overwhelming.

If you are interested in becoming a part of this committee, please send us an e-mail on the transcom list (transcom@lists.wikimedia.org).
