Self-Promotion Please help us translate requests for the languages of South Africa on Reddit!
Hi folks!
We're mods over at r/translator. We always strive to make our multilingual community the universal place on Reddit to go for a translation, no matter what language people may be looking for. We are however somewhat lacking in coverage for languages of South Africa, and were hoping some wonderful multilingual people here could help us out.
Would anyone be interested in helping translate any future requests for these languages on r/translator? You don't even need to subscribe to our subreddit! We usually get a request for it very occasionally and most requests that come in are pretty simple and casual and don't need advanced knowledge. If there's a language that you know that isn't on the list, you can also sign up for that, no problem. (We have a decent number of people already in the database for Afrikaans, but I'm including it in the table for coverage's sake)
You can easily unsubscribe from those messages at any time.
We have a notifications system that only sends you a message when a request for a specific language comes in. Just send a message to our subreddit bot at the link below.
| Language | Notification signup | Estimated request frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Zulu | ➡️ Get Zulu translation notifications | 4.08 posts/year |
| Xhosa | ➡️ Get Xhosa translation notifications | 2.04 posts/year |
