Ruth Cheesley shares key insights on communicating with an international team
summary
Project governance change communicates to non-English speakers by enlisting trusted individuals to pre-translate announcements into multiple languages in a Google Doc, sharing the news with local communities before public release. That process builds goodwill, reduces misreading of nuance, and increases uptake of the new model; volunteers feel valued and translations land clearly rather than requiring readers to infer meaning from imperfect English.
