Several developments in localization and translation:
We started working on new languages for some new regions- Madagascar and Micronesia
Done:
Created localization projects for Malagasy (Madagascar), Chuukese, Palauan, Pohnpeian and Yapese (All these for Micronesia/ Guam)
Added certified translators to these projects.
Doing:
Orienting the newly added translators and helping them where needed
Some of the Micronesian languages are custom languages with i18n codes that are not commonly used, checking to see how integration works with these languages
Blocked:
Not really blocked, but I need more insight into the roadmap or timeline for any Micronesia/Micronesia-Guam related rollout so that I can plan better and follow up and work accordingly with the translators in time for any release.
This is the general overview of the various languages and their status of completion (Slovak, Tagalog, Haitian Creole are a 100% done and Spanish (PR), Russian, Polish and Italian have good coverage)

B:
not a blocker, but I’d like to talk to “friendlies” to help inform research plan/interview guide, specifically looking to have an informal chat today with anyone who is currently living (ideally) or working/studying on a university campus to get a head start. I know we have a bunch of students in the Slack community but I don’t know best place to reach out to them. NOTE: this is separate from a larger blast Carolyn (lead researcher) plans to send out today to wider Slack community to solicit interviewees. Basically, I don’t want to confuse people with two requests and want a back channel of sorts to get 1 or 2 informal convos. any ideas?
xian: please invite me into any airtables you set up!
Brian Ng @xian I’m actually not invited to it yet cc @Spectra
Emma Heizer: @Gretchen Anderson would any of your students be open to talking with Brian today? Are they currently on or off campus?
Spectra @xian @Brad Peters is the prodops person (slated to be) assigned to that squad, following prodops sync. I'm free today, so think that should happen sooner rather than later.
xian sounds good to me! what does that entail (next steps)?

I was out sick yesterday. Getting myself back up to speed today.
