[[Brazilian_Viewer_Localization_Project]]


To join in, please, sign up [http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=rCz4oYbrdLslUgEv2ENO1A_3d_3d HERE]  Please, note that, at this time, we have no translation tasks for Brazilian Portuguese. Once 1.23 viewer has the first Release Candidate, we will start the new localization cycle and would love to have your help on translating the viewer strings, editing the viewer translations, reviewing the translation quality of the overall viewer and conducting Localization QA in our Localization Central Island.

==== Do you remember your first days in Second Life? ====
Every day new residents try to find a start in the world. They need You! They need your help to find places worth seeing, to learn how to get rid of the box they wear instead of hair, to not feel lost in the huge world that expects them, or they just need someone to explain them what Second Life is about.


=='''CHINESE'''==
==== Have you ever tried to build something and got stuck? ====
</div>
Scripts, prims, sculpts, textures, shapes and skins... There is so much to play with, so many cool things you can build and so much that can go wrong. Wouldn´t it be cool if there was someone to ask for help? This is where you step in! You can help residents to develop their skills by providing localized Knowledge Base and Help articles.


*Thanks to our volunteer localizers, our viewer is now available in '''Simplified Chinese'''. Great translations work! {{Jira|CT-117}} Check out 1.22 viewer to see it. If you are a Chinese translator and would like to join our CT project, we'd love to hear from you. We will have translation, editing, localization, localization QA, testing and other tasks available for Chinese very soon.
==== Do you have a hard time reading english words? ====
* Additional linguistic discussion for feedback is [[User:Geneko Nemeth/Interface translation additional terms|posted here]].
Some people do. Many residents can´t access help resources because they don´t speak english. Your help can make a difference. By translating the wiki, the viewer, blog posts and more you can help those residents find the information needed.

* Big thank you to our residents for helping us translate, edit and QA the [https://join.secondlife.com/index.php?lang=zh-CN Registration Area]


<div style="background:#ccddff">
==== Still not convinced? ====
 
Volunteering is fun and makes a difference in the world. You can make new friends and share your skills with others. It´s something different and you help develop skills. You develop your communication skills and can work in a team. Helping others builds your self-esteem and self-confidence. You will feel needed and appreciated.

Wouldn´t it be cool if there was someone to ask for help? This is where you step in! You can help residents to develop their skills by providing localized Knowledge Base and Help articles.

Do you have a hard time reading english words?
