Now that Openverse is available at Openverse.org, I wanted to take an opportunity to showcase how translations work, specifically related to the Rosetta sites.
Redirections and translation paths
Previously, when live at wordpress.org/openverse, Openverse would inherit the language of the Rosetta site. For example, https://es.wordpress.org/openverse displayed the Spanish translations. Now, these same translations are available at https://openverse.org/es/.
