A few months ago, we decided to make the various character strings in AllPeers easily available on Babelzilla (The official localization site for Firefox extensions) so that people who wanted to have AllPeers in their language could simply translate the software.

At the time of the announcement we were amazed that within 48 hours, 8 languages were already in the making. Today we’re delighted to announce that the next version of AllPeers is currently being translated into 28 languages thanks to the dedication of an amazing team of volunteers.

We already have 15 languages ready so if you are a native speaker of any of the following languages, please do not hesitate to go to Babelzilla and give a hand to the existing translator(s) of:

  • Catalan
  • Traditional Chinese
  • Esperanto
  • Estonian
  • Galician
  • Japanese
  • Romanian
  • Russian
  • Serbian
  • Slovenian
  • Swedish
  • Turkish
  • Italian

    • When you develop software, it is often hard to know what people really think of your work. Of course, you can setup a blog, a support forum, a feedback form but most of the time these are used by people who are encountering problems. So to experience first hand that there are users out there who care enough about your work to spend some of their spare time to make your software more accessible to their compatriots is an amazing feeling.

    So to all of you, if you are reading: Thank you, we love you too!
