Hi,<br><br>we have currently two french speaking people (if we can count on Nathalie). It is not ideal but still okay for me. Nathalie, if you want to translate then please answer the question:<br><br>Which platforms do you use<br>a) usually for translation work or<br>b) which you would like to use for translating (e.g. GitHub, e-mail communication (sharing docs around)<br><br>.<br><br>I will use your input to set up the working flows (nothing complicated). No experience in translating needed. You will just need your language skills which you have.<br><br>If others want to help translating, please don't be too shy to reply :)<br><br>Cheerio<br><br>Sören Reinecke alias Valor Naram<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></head><body><div class="quote" style="line-height: 1.5"><br><br>-------- Original Message --------<br>Subject: Re: [Talk-africa] [Trufi Association] Translation of bus route mapping documentation<br>From: Sören Reinecke via Talk-africa <talk-africa@openstreetmap.org><br>To: Nathalie SIDIBE <sidibenathalie27@gmail.com>,Enock Seth Nyamador <enockseth@gmail.com><br>CC: talk-ml@openstreetmap.org,talk-tg@openstreetmap.org,talk-africa@openstreetmap.org,talk-ci@openstreetmap.org<br><br><br type="attribution"><blockquote class="quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi Nathalie and of course the others,<br><br>nice to hear :-)<br><br>Now I have two questions:<br>1.

Hello Sören. <a href="mailto:talk-africa@openstreetmap.org" target="_blank">talk-africa@openstreetmap.org</a> is English language only but, <br>
in French-speaking West Africa, the Openstreetmap contributors use <br>
French almost exclusively in their Openstreetmap practice. French <br>
translation proves valuable in including them.<br>
<br>
cc: Nathalie Sidibe, from Openstreetmap Mali, who is fluent in English <br>
but very aware of how much French translations are required in her local <br>
community - she can give you the local perspective.<br>
