We present the most amazing opportunity for you to hone your skills.  No demanding clients, flexible delivery schedules, we are tolerant of mistakes.  This is probably the best environment for you to learn and practice.  But we won't pay you.

We really do believe that translating Free Software should be something every professional translator should do.  They can place it on their CV and become the first people Microsoft approaches.

The problem with localisation into African languages is that there is very little opportunity to learn.  Translate.org.za offers you that opportunity to learn.

If you want to see your industry grow you need to create a demand.  By placing software out there in your language you create the demand for more translation.

Just as lawyers do pro bono work we think professional translators should give back to their languages. It builds the languages, creates a demand, build and industry and gives you skills.  You really can't lose.
