I assume if you’re reading this article you already know about Plurk. If not, there are plenty of other articles in this blog that will explain Plurk. As for the “me” in the title, I’m a 65 year old, retired Public Servant, Linux advocate, computer aficionado, avid Internet user, social networking junkie, photographer and musician - all of which I engage in with varying degrees of success.

It is surprising to see that only 8 of the 31 localization projects are 100% completed.

Plurk has been localized to several languages, by hard work from volunteers.

I am on the Dutch translation team myself, and can assure that it is not THAT much of an effort to complete the localization to 100%. I think good effort has been made, but wonder why some languages are not translated completely.

Are the translators for the particular languages on a holiday? Or did they just stop using Plurk by losing interest?

I think it is important to finish all translations to 100%, because not everybody likes to use English as the language of choice for Plurk.

So, if you speak English well enough to do some translation work and would not mind to dedicate some of your time to translate a bunch of string, just go here and sign up! You will receive a nice badge on your profile page and probably make a load of users happy.

Of course it is only useful to sign up for incomplete or not yet mentioned languages, because it is no effort to join in for a completely translated language…

So, speak marsian, ali g or whatever awesome foreign unlisted language, get your ass over here and join in!
