17.2.3 Translating Teams
------------------------
For the Free Translation Project to be a success, we need interested
people who like their own language and write it well, and who are also
able to synergize with other translators speaking the same language.
Each translation team has its own mailing list. The up-to-date list of
teams can be found at the Free Translation Project’s homepage,
‘https://translationproject.org/’, in the "Teams" area.
If you’d like to volunteer to _work_ at translating messages, you
should become a member of the translating team for your own language.
The subscribing address is _not_ the same as the list itself, it has
‘-request’ appended. For example, speakers of Swedish can send a
message to ‘sv-request@li.org’, having this message body:
subscribe
Keep in mind that team members are expected to participate _actively_
in translations, or at solving translational difficulties, rather than
merely lurking around. If your team does not exist yet and you want to
start one, or if you are unsure about what to do or how to get started,
please write to ‘coordinator@translationproject.org’ to reach the
coordinator for all translator teams.
The English team is special. It works at improving and uniformizing
the terminology in use. Proven linguistic skills are praised more than
programming skills, here.
