Good morning, dear polyglots!

Attention all of you who are taking part in Global WordPress Translation day, and especially those who have signed up to do a live session about translating to their language – this information is important for you.

I’d like to invite you to join the Dropbox shared folder for Global WordPress Translation day, where you can find the template slide deck for the live session presentations as well as information about the event and some images you can use for your local RosettaRosetta The code name of the theme for the local WordPress sites (eg. bg.wordpress.org is a “Rosetta” site). All locale specific WordPress sites are referred to as “Rosetta sites.” The name was inspired from the ancient Rosetta Stone, which contained more or less the same text in three different languages. announcement.

How should I use this slide deck?

1. Please request access to the Dropbox folder
2. Download the Slides from the “Slides Template EN” folder, open the slide deck and rename it to “TranslateWordPressIntro_localename” (Example: TranslateWordPressIntro_bg_BG). Slides are available as a keynote template and a pptx template as well.
3. Some of the slides include notes (at least in Keynote) that explain the content of the slide. Again, you can choose whether or not to make use of those
4. Translate the slides, modify them in any way you see fit (you don’t need to use them at all if you’d like to do your own), add the local content
5. Create a folder in the Live Session Slides folder, name it “Slides your_locale” (Example: Slides bg_BG and upload your slides there.
