Hi everyone!

We just published an interview with Chido Musodza, Program Associate, Community Engagement at our beloved Localization Lab https://www.localizationlab.org/: https://ooni.org/post/2024-interview-with-chido-musodza/

Many of our community members and partners are familiar with Localization Lab https://ooni.org/partners/localization-lab/’s work — thanks to their volunteers, OONI Probe is available in more than 20 languages, and OONI Explorer in more than 10.

Chido is one of the people, grace to whom this became possible, and many of those who worked on our translations likely have already met her.

In this interview, Chido shares why localization matters both for the products and the communities, how it empowers the development of minority languages and how it changes the digital space.

Please watch the interview (https://youtu.be/nyXBfI6VZyc), share your thoughts in our Slack https://slack.ooni.org/ and join Localization Lab’s community https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfgXL7UbC6eVk7YMg_gidFnBre3a6liYSnAuhiPmtSybubNWA/viewform to support new translations!

Warmly,

Elizaveta
