Re-inventing the Rosetta Stone Together
summary
Claims that open-source culture is anglocentric and shows concrete fixes: using GitHub issues and Slack to form language teams, translating docs and blog posts, and creating local social channels. The project creates 34 teams created and 23 active groups, discovers a GitHub glitch where a repository name turns into dashes, and produces real outcomes: translated Node docs, contributors promoted to collaborator and TSC roles, and at least one regional conference organized — a partly working, tangible path from volunteer translations to sustained participation.
