(1) Translators Without Borders recruits ProZ.com Certified PRO members for ambitious localization program
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On February 17th, Translators Without Borders was contacted by the NGO GoodPlanet, who requested help in translating their new website, http://www.desforetsetdeshommes.org into as many languages as possible beyond English, French and Spanish (which were already available).
Since the languages where Translators Without Borders is stronger were not required, a decision was made to contact members of ProZ.com's Certified PRO Network and to ask them for help, offering to add any volunteer directly to the list of approved Translators Without Borders translators (the Certified PRO Network has a screening process similar to that used by Translators Without Borders).
The results were amazing; 38 translators volunteered and the GoodPlanet website is currently being localized into the following 15 languages: Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, German, Dutch, Romanian, Russian, Indonesian, Polish, Swedish, Turkish, Hungarian, Greek, Slovak and Japanese.
There is room for translation into additional languages. Any Certified PRO members who are willing to collaborate with Translations Without Borders in general, and with GoodPlanet in particular, are welcome to contact TWB via their ProZ.com profile at http://www.proz.com/profile/1352791
