Join the eduCommons Localization Team!

Thank you to all of our translator worldwide! As of eduCommons 3.2.1-final we have 15 translations either completed or under way, but localization is an ongoing process and we always need more help. There have been many changes with the eduCommons 3.2.1 release, and the translations need to be updated. To join our team, please review the instructions found on the Localizing eduCommons page. To submit translations or direct inquiries, please contact info [at] educommons [dot] com. You are also welcome to join the educommons_loc Yahoo group for up-to-date information about eduCommons localization.
