[okfn-discuss] Translating into Arabic

Fri Mar 15 08:38:12 UTC 2013

Just a quick note to say that the Open Knowledge Foundation is already
successfully crowdsourcing translations for several projects,
including Annotator, CKAN, Open Data Handbook or OpenSpending via
Transifex. I personally find it an excellent platform:

Cheers,
