When should we organize the next event?
September 30 was chosen last year because that date was declared as the International Translation Day by the United Nations General Assembly in May 2017.
There are some comments on SlackSlackSlack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/.#polyglots-events that it will be too short of notice for us to start organizing the event now and having the event on Sept 30 again this year.
Maybe mid- to late-October could be a possibility?
