• What is the translation sub-circle?
• Article on localisation workflows and tools.
• Explain the difference between localisation and translation, the relevance in activism and how we use both terms within the localisation circle.
  • Translation and localization: what’s the difference? Lokalise (2021)
• How to support and engage peer translators online.
• How to enable translators to translate youtube content (subtitles, titles and descriptions) of Activist Handbook
  • Because Activist Handbook has a brand account, we are not able to enable solely permission as Subtitle Editor (only possible an non-brand accounts).
  • Here is more info on brand account (features, roles and permissions). It appears translators need to have the manager role to create and edit subtitles (which enables them to do a lot more with the channel as well).
• How to organise a translate-a-thon.
