How to Help us Translate

There are two different translator roles.

Translator Member

Anyone can be a translator member and contribute to translating Channel to new languages. All you have to do is create an translator account.

Translator Leader

If you wish to be a translator leader you will have the role of controlling how the translation is proceeding, approve and correct errors. You will as a leader be the last one to control everything before it gets published. All leaders needs to be approved by Channel.

When you are translating you are going to use a service called Crowdin. Sign up for Crowdin here:
