Translating can also be a huge help and often times there are very intuitive web interfaces for this
Weblate is great, you can translate strings of text during 5 minute breaks
Hey, can you link a couple of these projects with web interface translation methods, or something similar and convenient? Having used a bunch of open software through centralized platforms or local files, I mostly encounter either inline, manual file change as translation option or adjacent strings files, but sadly no visualization or even context of where a line to be translated is used, etc.
Asking because I'm not really one to go through personal connections to devs or taking active parts in community discords to submit translations in text file formats. I'd like to see these other ones with semi-anonymously submitting translations for my select languages, and a couple examples for for convenience would help a lot for me to seek or ask for such things in the future.
Sure thing.
The best place to start is on the Get Involved page on out wiki. There you can read about the different ways you can help and contains all the links you may need.
The second best place would probably be just jumping right in into the New Contributors Matrix room and having a chat with the people there.
