Interested in speaking about integrating i18n in if-me.org, a mental health communication app #7

Open julianguyen opened 7 years ago

julianguyen commented 7 years ago

We recently launched i18n in Spanish on if-me.org, I'd like to give a talk about the technical challenges and also the social impact of supporting languages other than English.

if me is an open source, not-for-profit mental health communication app to encourage people to talk about their experiences with loved ones. Our project is built and maintained by contributors many backgrounds and skill sets, not just technical folks. Our main project this year is setting up i18n for Spanish translations. Starting conversations about mental health in immigrant and minority communities is important to us.

You spelled my name as Juli when it should be Julia on the page @elof. Also, do you know what exact time my talk would be at and how long the talk is? Thanks!

elof commented 7 years ago

Thanks for catching that spelling mistake, I just updated the page. You will have up to 15 min to talk and your speaking time will be some time between 3:15 and 5pm (I haven't put exact time slots together yet)

julianguyen commented 7 years ago

Thank you! Is there any way I can do it before 4pm? I need to get back to the office then. Thanks @elof!

Thanks so much! It was a great event and I wish I could've stayed longer! Will there be more in the future?

@elof Oh and I also noticed my twitter handle is wrong in the Vimeo description. It should be @fleurchild :D
