What can I expect to learn?

The hands-on lab is mainly designed for I18n translators and contributors, but not limited to them. The workshop is also useful for newbies who would like to join to I18n team and also anyone who are interested in OpenStack internationalization.Although translation contribution in OpenStack has been continuous for years and I18n team has become an official team for the latest four cycles, using translation contribution tools with useful tips has not been shared with globalized people relatively too much. Speakers hope that more people who are interested in translation contribution will come here and more translators who are geographically distributed so unable to come to Summit will see the workshop video content and materials which will be available after the Summit.
