But before today, we've only ever served our resources in English.Since October 2016 we've had plans to 'localize' the Silph Road platform - meaning make our resources and future tools available in more languages. Unfortunately, localization has always taken 2nd place on the Silph Road team's priority list.But no longer!Today, we're taking the wraps off a shiny new translation platform:http://ift.tt/2oULZnH, volunteers from around the world can join us on the front lines of the Silph Road network and help us grow into new communities and languages around the world.Want to get started translating? Here's what you do:How to Contribute TranslationsThe Translation Center is built using an open source localization tool called 'Pootle' and makes pitching in very simple. You can do a single word if you'd like, or an entire page of the Silph Road's resources!Join the Translation Center Discord Server where we're all working hard on this.Read the short #faq channel on the Discord server to get up to speedThen head to http://ift.tt/2qkPi9J and authenticate to get started!We recommend also watching this awesome walkthrough video Executive Ceppi put together at 2am this morning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6zHcZVlUAEWhat's NextWe're so excited to finally be able to get better resources in the hands of our travelers in countries where English is not a predominant language.We look forward to seeing how this impacts the Silph Road network in its current state, but we're even more excited about the awesome things the Silph Road team has cooking in the lab.
