STEPBible.org already has interfaces in 59 languages. If your's isn't included, it is easy to add it yourself. Then anyone with your mother tongue can use STEP easily.
Do you have some time to make STEP Bible easier for your friends and fellow nationals who don't know English as well as you? STEP is designed to be available in any language, but we need people like you, who know English as well as another language, to help with that. And it doesn't take long.
STEPBible is made up of Bibles, dictionaries and other tools, and the interface of menus and hints. You won't have time to translate a whole Bible or a dictionary, but you could translate the buttons and hints. It should take a few hours to do a quick job, and then a couple of hours to check it. Or, you might find that the job has already been started and mostly it just needs checking.
Video on how to use STEP Bible in your own language
This video starts by showing that STEP works in different languages, then it shows how to add your own language menus and hints.
Here's a quick summary:
* Click on "Language" at www.stepbible.org, then on "Help translate STEP into your language"* Click on your national flag
* Click on one of the four sets of messages to translate (the third one is the main one)
* Log in using your Facebook or Google ID, or register (we use this to email about language updates)
* Add or check translations and click "Save" for each addition you make
(if you see strange code like "%1$" just leave it - the computer will turn it into numbers etc.)
When enough has been translated, it is uploaded and becomes a new interface.
Think how many lives can be transformed by using your skills for a few hours.
Thank you!
