 Know someone who speaks Korean? We’re looking for help localizing the app in to Korean. South Korea has the most users of any non-English speaking country and we’ve not done any localization for Korean at all. nostr:note1vannkylur4qxprnhx74fpam2aexxc6frv4ncf79nmkglsx8f040qzyz87l 
 I really like how you make decisions based on data. It’s almost random everywhere else in nostr. 
 One of my bosses is Korean . She speaks it fluently. 
 Why not use a DVM for this? Or directly translate content with the DeepL API? 
 We could do automatic translation but for software interfaces the automated stuff isn’t great. And as an open source project we welcome contributions from the community and for many people localization is a great easy way to contribute. 
 Literally 5 minutes after I hit send I thought “maybe it’s for the interface/navigation”

That makes sense, for sure 👍 

Question on that though:
Text translations are cheap, but not free. Is this something users would pay for? Or how do you expect to navigate that? 
 Unfortunately, the one person I know has left Nostr. I’ll see if she’s willing anyway, it’s possible. 
 Great job to consider this. It’s important. People like to use apps in their language. I’ll pass the along.

 This lady is very active in web3. -https://x.com/iamsonge 
 She’s the person who wrote the text for me in Korean asking for translation help. :) 
 Not sure how I could help? I’m Korean, but only write and read a little, but speak decently. 
 I don’t know if it is much help, but my uncle is South Korean and is raising his family together with my aunt in Frankfurt, Germany 🇩🇪 He works in Import and export, so he has a great English and International Relations-Type skill set. 
 Hey I'm a new Korean user and I can help translating but not really sure how. Do you have any concerns?
