Summary

Help make the WordPress Photo Walk organizing guide accessible to more communities around the world by translating it into your language. The guide, part of the Photos Team Handbook, explains how to plan and run a community photo walk that generates CC0-licensed photo contributions for the WordPress Photo Directory. Translating it removes a barrier for non-English-speaking organizers who want to bring photo walks to their local communities. This task sits at the intersection of the Photos team and the Polyglots (translation) team, and is open to anyone who is bilingual, regardless of technical skill level.

How WordPress.org Content Is Translated

WordPress.org internal pages (including handbook content) are translated through the Meta translation project on translate.wordpress.org. This is the same platform (GlotPress) used to translate WordPress core, plugins, and themes. Your translations are reviewed and approved by Translation Editors for your language before they go live.
