We are pleased to announce the launch of a large-scale translation program for Ethereum.org, which will translate the website and other resources into over 15 languages.
Ethereum is a global project and it is essential that Ethereum.org reflects our global community. Since relaunching the website, our team has prioritized organizing a translation program to ensure that resources on Ethereum are accessible to everyone, regardless of nationality or language.
Today, we’re excited to launch our first full translation: a Korean version of the website, available now at ethereum.org/ko. In the coming weeks, our program will expand with an initial focus on producing translations into Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Russian, German and Italian. This initial set of languages was chosen based on search volume for Ethereum and related terms, as well as traffic to Ethereum-related websites.
While this effort will initially focus on translating Ethereum.org, it will expand over time to include translations of important community resources such as documentation, guides, blog posts, and more.
The translation program will combine translations carried out by volunteers, project management by the Ethereum Foundation team, and professional translation services when necessary to fill gaps or provide audits.
Would you like to contribute to the translation effort for a specific language? We are looking for volunteers from the global Ethereum community to join language-specific teams. We encourage you to learn more and get involved here.
Ethereum is essential infrastructure for all humanity, and Ethereum.org should reflect the diversity we see at hackathons and regular events around the world. With today’s launch of ethereum.org/ko and the Ethereum.org translation program, we have taken another step towards reflecting the most important element of our ecosystem: our community.
Special thanks to Taeyeon Kim, who led the translation program, and the team of volunteers who translated ethereum.org/ko: Daniel Jee, Hyungsuk Kang, Jeongmoo Heo, Jumin Lee, Sangphil Kim, Suhun Kim, Wanseob Lim and Yeong Hun Ryu.
