Translating WordPress to African Languages
Details
**A guide to using translate.wordpress.org**
In this month's meetup, we will be discussing WordPress Translations.
WordPress is fully translated into over 65 languages, we are working towards getting WordPress translated into our common Nigerian Pidgin English.
The project has started, but more hands are needed to get it completed.
The following points will be discussed:
- Contributing to WordPress Translations
- Contributing to the WordPress in Pidgin project (as the case study)
- Translating other plugins and themes to Pidgin.
