Welcome to the Twitter Translation Center.

0:00:11.870,0:00:14.880
In order to help make Twitter available to everyone in the world,

0:00:14.880,0:00:17.180
we created an open service that allows users to

0:00:17.180,0:00:19.100
translate the site, by using tools that

0:00:19.100,0:00:21.050
our engineers have built specifically

0:00:21.050,0:00:22.180
for localization.

0:00:22.180,0:00:24.050
You have helped define what's important

0:00:24.060,0:00:25.770
about the product. Now you can define

0:00:25.770,0:00:27.430
you own local experience too.

0:00:27.430,0:00:28.930
Here are a few steps

0:00:28.930,0:00:30.800
which can help you get started.

0:00:30.800,0:00:32.360
Login into your Twitter account using

0:00:32.360,0:00:34.690
your usual e-mail and password combination.

0:00:34.690,0:00:36.440
Review the Translation Agreement before

0:00:36.440,0:00:38.360
checking the box and clicking "I Agree".

0:00:38.360,0:00:40.440
We have summed it up for you, but feel free to

0:00:40.440,0:00:42.280
read the full Agreement here.

0:00:42.280,0:00:44.670
Choose your language in the drop-down menu.

0:00:44.670,0:00:46.780
If your language is not on the list, sit tight,

0:00:46.780,0:00:48.880
we're doing our best to make it available soon.

0:00:48.880,0:00:51.210
Welcome to the translator community.

0:00:51.210,0:00:52.580
You're all set up!

0:00:52.580,0:00:54.540
From Twitter.com to Twitter for iPhone,

0:00:54.540,0:00:56.770
you can choose to translate whatever part of Twitter

0:00:56.770,0:00:58.350
you like best or use the most.

0:00:58.350,0:01:00.040
Beneath the list of projects

0:01:00.040,0:01:01.790
is a chart of the top translators.

0:01:01.790,0:01:03.600
It's our way of acknowledging those

0:01:03.600,0:01:05.600
who have contributed the most time and effort

0:01:05.600,0:01:07.020
to help us to localize Twitter.

0:01:07.404,0:01:09.430
Once you have found a project that interests you the most

0:01:09.430,0:01:11.890
click through it. This is your project page.

0:01:11.890,0:01:14.230
Here you will find a list documenting the sections

0:01:14.230,0:01:15.930
of the project you have chosen to translate.

0:01:15.930,0:01:18.870
For example, if you chose to translate Twitter.com

0:01:18.870,0:01:21.200
you will have the option to translate the Signup Flow,

0:01:21.200,0:01:23.420
the Confirmation E-mails, Widgets and much more.

0:01:23.420,0:01:25.780
Browse around and choose what you're drawn to.

0:01:25.780,0:01:27.910
If you are interested only in the lastest additions,

0:01:27.910,0:01:30.530
of the project you're viewing, you can try clicking the "Date" link

0:01:30.530,0:01:31.839
at the top of the page.

0:01:31.839,0:01:34.210
This will sort the phrases by date added.

0:01:34.210,0:01:36.630
This way, you can also check back on older translations.

0:01:37.310,0:01:39.840
If you are impartial about what you like to translate,

0:01:39.840,0:01:41.880
click the "All" button at the top.

0:01:41.880,0:01:43.970
This will produce a list of all phrases

0:01:43.970,0:01:46.670
in need of translation, regardless of their section.

0:01:46.670,0:01:48.103
This is recommended to those

0:01:48.103,0:01:49.477
who are familiar with Twitter and know

0:01:49.477,0:01:51.470
where every sentence appears on the site.

0:01:51.580,0:01:54.321
If you have a precise term in mind you'd like to translate,

0:01:54.322,0:01:55.940
feel free to use the search bar.

0:01:55.940,0:01:58.440
Searching will scan the phrases in a given project

0:01:58.440,0:02:01.530
and provide you with the list of phrases containing your search query.

0:02:01.530,0:02:04.270
You can search terms in English or in your language.

0:02:04.270,0:02:07.126
Simply check the appropriate box under the search bar.

0:02:07.896,0:02:09.750
To start submitting translations,

0:02:09.750,0:02:11.750
choose a project from the home page.

0:02:11.750,0:02:14.910
Then choose a specific part of the project you want to start translating.

0:02:14.910,0:02:18.970
There may already be a short list of suggested translations for each phrase.

0:02:18.970,0:02:21.541
These have been submitted by other translators

0:02:21.541,0:02:23.749
and at least a few others have found them useful.

0:02:24.056,0:02:26.720
Simply click the box beside the suggested translation

0:02:26.720,0:02:27.970
that you believe is the best.

0:02:27.970,0:02:29.828
If you change your mind you can always click

0:02:29.828,0:02:31.905
the box again to cancel your choice.

0:02:31.905,0:02:33.266
If you think you have a better translation

0:02:33.266,0:02:35.410
than the previously suggested ones,

0:02:35.410,0:02:38.470
feel free to submit your own in the field underneath the voting options.

0:02:38.470,0:02:40.814
Everyone can suggest their own translations.

0:02:41.260,0:02:42.810
If you click "More information",

0:02:42.810,0:02:45.266
you will see details about the translation string,

0:02:45.281,0:02:47.640
including similar phrases and comments.

0:02:47.640,0:02:49.650
Once you have typed translations in the page,

0:02:49.650,0:02:51.220
you will need to save your work.

0:02:51.220,0:02:52.833
Scroll down to the bottom of the page

0:02:52.833,0:02:54.904
and hit the "Save Translations" button.

0:02:54.904,0:02:57.984
You can always go back to your previously translated phrases by searching,

0:02:57.984,0:03:00.910
or by clicking "Your Translations" on the top of your page.

0:03:00.910,0:03:03.360
