    "Contributing Translations to Discogs

    "Another way you can contribute to Discogs, is to help translate Discogs into your language. Your translations can make Discogs more accessible to the world and encourage international submissions.

    "Intrigued? Follow these three steps:

    "1. Review our "How Do I Help Translate Discogs?" help document.
    "2. the discogs-i18n Transifex project.
    "3. the discogs-i18n Group."

    So, could we add something like
    4. one of the Language Groups to help in the of non-English speakers.
    (perhaps with a link to https://discogs.cinepelis.org/group/2418 .)

    The wording is off the top of my head and could be better written, but you get the idea.
    Responses, please.

    Good idea. I hope staff/management goes ahead and makes the addition.

    https://discogs.cinepelis.org/group/thread/709415#7108523 she indicates that she would want a consensus from this Group.
    We now have over 30 so if perhaps 15 - 20 other s would +1 this idea then I think we have a strong position.

    But is there a better proposal we could make? I'm quite happy for you all to make your suggestions.

    That's a good place to start, and something that I can implement without a wait!

    What do you think about this....

    I'm happy with this so unless there's any opposition over the next few days.
    Is the Group's front page in good enough order for this to be effective?
    Is there anything else that I can put in place immediately?

    PS I would still like something permanent at the foot of the page under "Help Is Here" but an addition to the "Contributing to Discogs" page is a welcome start.

    Agreed, I think something more visible is needed.

    Maybe we should link here, or to a similar list? https://discogs.cinepelis.org/forum/thread/702525

    They're both the same list: I copied the Forum list to the Group header.
    I was thinking more in of other features / threads that we would want in place. I'm open to thoughts and suggestions.

    Ultimately, it will be the language Groups who are giving the as I intend this Group to be a gateway / index for language .

    Can I encourage you all to post a "+1" if you're happy with the proposal:

    I would prefer this to interpreting your silence as an implied "+1".

    It seemed like an easy win for us, and since I didn't see any arguments against it, I've actually already made the change:
    https://discogs.cinepelis.org/help/doc/contributing

    I can update the language and link very easily if anyone has suggestions for improvement!

    Thanks. I should have checked before posting.

    Yet another Forum thread asking for language - https://discogs.cinepelis.org/forum/thread/718206 . I don't know if my proposed 4th bullet point would be sufficient but I think that an increased visibility of language is still needed.
