The Primero Team is looking for volunteer translators and reviewers!
Primero v2 is currently available in English, French, Spanish, and Arabic, with a bunch of other languages either partially translated or completed for a specific module. However, we are always in need of new volunteer translators and reviewers. Please consider contributing to your language, and help us make Primero truly accessible to everyone.
What do I need to be a translator?
- We are looking for volunteers who are proficient in English and native speakers in another language or languages.
- Ideally, volunteer translators should also be Primero users who are familiar with the platform, however this is not always a requirement.
- Volunteers should also be comfortable learning a new software called Transifex. It is free and easy to use. See: https://www.transifex.com
How do I become a Translator?
The process is very simple. All translation happens on the Transifex site. The first step is to register in Transifex:
- Go to http://www.transifex.com/signup/ and create an account (it’s free!)
- Request access to our Primero account by writing a message to jpanchalingam@unicef.org
