Multi-language support for steemit.com is here!
Steemit.com now supports multiple languages!
First and foremost: Thank You Translators
A big thank you to all of the translators who have helped translate steemit.com into their native language!
Without the hard work of these amazing community members none of this would have been possible.

How it works
For non-logged-in users, steemit.com automatically detects and displays the user’s language based on their browser settings. Logged in users have the option to toggle their language from within their profile settings page.
Five languages are currently supported: English, Spanish, Russian, French, and Italian. More languages are in the process of being added.
If you encounter any text that is not properly translated while you are browsing the site, we encourage you to submit an issue or pull request to the condenser GitHub repository:

How to help
Becoming a steemit translator is a great way to help grow your native language community. For steemit.com, we use a specialized localization platform that allows us to do agile and continuous language support. This enables our current translators to spread the load. The more translators we get, the easier the task becomes for the individual translators.
Please e-mail [email protected] with the language you would like to help translate and you too can become a part of our international translation team that is helping to make steemit.com a welcoming community for all!
World class multi-language support
The Steemit team views multi-language support for steemit.com as a top priority, and these changes are only the beginning of our efforts toward that mission to offer a world-class experience to all users of the platform, regardless of their native language.
Our multi-language support has only just started, and we are looking forward to our platform supporting many diverse native languages!
Thanks again to our amazing translators, and of course … Steem on!
Team Steemit
Happy to support with German if you need more help with that.
Hattest Du damals irgendwas erreicht? Weil das Thema gerade wieder aufkommt ...
Nice addition!
What an amazing project! It's great to hear that you have made multi-language support one of your top priorities. I'd love to support the team with another language.
You've got a new email :-)
Yes I really like this project!
What about RTL support? Hebrew and Arabic still look awful on steemit.com.
I'll be happy to help translate it if someone can fix the alignment.
(self upvoted for visibility please don't flag me)
If you translate, alignment will come
If you help me git, I'll translate it in no-time.
I just... I am not a developer. I am just trying to bring some Israelis here. Give me a language file like busy.org has and I am all over that. You'll have the Hebrew translation in hours. It'll look like poop with the alignment off, though. Like it does on busy.org.
Here's a translation file for SteemIt: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/steemit/condenser/master/src/app/locales/en.json
I just joined to steemit and already working on Arabic Translation for the file you just mention. and will email the translation to [email protected]
@masrawy for Arabic
Great job
Just email [email protected] with the language you'd like to help translate and we'd be happy to add you into our system. It certainly does not require that you be a developer. It's simple and intuitive. Thanks for your interest!

I love watching this platform evolve right infront of my eyes, i do however have one question ;
This will sort of relate to other social media platforms
Some have a button that translates what ever post you are viewing into your own language - perhaps that is something to look into, so that the language barrier is even thinner ; as i still read some posts that have english title and picture, although the post itself is in a different language .
This was something i ran into just the other day while scrolling through new posts and it had caught my attention that there was no translation on what looked to be a very informative post even though there was also some replies by the creator that were in english as well .
Just thinking out loud ; so to speak .
I have submitted the pull request for Chinese. I don't know why it's still pending.
This is a really good thing because I believe that the steemit platform is something that could really be huge if the rest of the world starts using it as well.
Anybody Gide me for using of streemit
Omg!!!! Whaaaaaaattt! This is amazing for everyone using steamit and has had trouble explaining what they want to say in their native language.
