Guidance across languages
Start with existing PocketAuthor materials. Shape a small contribution with a reviewer, then build on what you learn.
Introduce yourself
Suggested project, not an assigned task or an open vacancy. Agree on scope, availability and a reviewer before starting. Scholarships, funding and partnerships described here are proposals, not active commitments.
Start here
Translate a short public PocketAuthor instruction and explain your terminology choices.
- Choose up to 150 words of non-sensitive guidance.
- Keep the original beside the translation and mark uncertain terms.
- Check tone, layout, reading direction and cultural assumptions with a review checklist.
What to hand in
A bilingual draft, glossary and localization issues for a language reviewer.
Ready for review when
- The deliverable answers this brief and distinguishes facts from assumptions.
- Sources are linked, drafts are labeled, and private or identifying information is removed.
- You list open questions and ask your assigned reviewer for feedback before publishing or contacting anyone.

These are suggested next tasks, not completion records. After a placement is agreed, your coordinator assigns tasks in the volunteer workspace. Use its task statuses and progress reports to record work and request review.
Open volunteer workspaceKeep the work safe and voluntary
Use public sources or material you own. No outreach, grant submission, production access, spending or publication is authorized by this guide. For work involving children or other vulnerable groups, stop and ask for an approved safeguarding plan. Participation is for adults, and you can pause or decline a task. Credit and rights are agreed separately.
