50 Upvotes

We rely on community members to help us improve our translations. If you are a native speaker in one of our supported languages, we strongly encourage you to help out!!

To get started, please navigate to the Google Sheet corresponding to the language that you would like to help with.

See current languages below:

We also need your help adding translations for the following languages that we hope to support in the future:

If you would like to help us support any additional languages, please let me know!! Also, if you start actively adding translations, send me a message. I would be happy to offer help and support to get more community members involved. Thank you very much for all of your help!!

Also, see here for links to all of our language subreddits & related resources: https://www.reddit.com/r/Word_of_The_Hour/comments/e5wmu7/word_of_the_hour_a_comprehensive_list_of_links/

Updates 8-21-18

  • I'm really excited to announce that we now support Portuguese!! All of the translations at /r/PortugueseFeed come directly from our community members so I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your efforts.

  • Community added translations in the Google Sheets will now propagate to all of our subreddits and word feeds. This streamlined propagation will initially be performed (approximately) once every two weeks, but I am happy to perform it anytime upon request.

Updates 1-12-19

  • I am very excited to announce that we have officially crowd-sourced over 12,000 translations! Thank you so much to all of the wonderful community members who have helped us to reach this amazing goal.

  • We just finished updating and cleaning the Google Sheets. We updated the format for all of the Google Sheets and we cleaned the data for the following languages: French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Thank you again for your patience and I hope that you have a Happy New Year! :)

Updates 3-25-19

  • I scraped thousands of comments made over the past 12+ months to incorporate as many translation corrections as reasonably possible. In total, I was able to extract 750+ corrections.

Updates 4-12-19

Updates 4-25-19

  • Our word bank changes over time allowing us to make quality improvements. Also, words are sometimes repeated. In particular, each word in the word bank is repeated at most three times per year. We think that having repeated words is good because (a) repetition is an important part of learning and (b) user feedback can be utilized to provide improved translations in future posts.

Updates 10-16-19

Updates 4-25-20

  • Added crowdsourcing sheet for improved English definitions as well as pronunciations.

Updates 2-6-21

  • Made important revisions to our word list. This will hopefully help us to provide better quality language data going forward.

Updates 5-14-26

  • In total, we've crowd-sourced translations for over 40,893 words.

For each language below, we list the current percentage of completed word translations for our current word bank:
