Steemit is growing fast, constantly knocking down barriers and racing around obstacles. The language barrier is just another one of these temporary inconveniences that will soon be removed in our community, and Operation Translation may play a key role.
In an attempt to continue building up our global community, I recently made this post:
TRANSLATION OPPORTUNITY ON STEEMIT
It started a process and got a little attention, most notably from 
TRANSLATE ANY OF STELLABELLE'S POSTS AND KEEP ALL REWARDS
To sum up the proposal:
- Any user who desires to translate any of our articles from English into another language is free to do so for the purpose of reposting it on steemit.
- The translator is free to post their translated version under their own username and keep all the payout rewards for their efforts.
More details are included in each of our posts, but that is the general offer that we have made.
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT
- It gives those who are bilingual or skilled in languages an opportunity to take excellent articles posted by other users and make them accessible to non-English speaking users.
- The translator has the opportunity to risk work required vs. potential payout with their efforts just like the original authors did when they posted the original article in English.
- By using this method, members of this community can work together to continue to diversify the content of this community and make the information provided by steemit more accessible.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Consider making this offer yourself, as a steemit author
- Find and upvote translated articles in this project to inspire additional interest from authors and translators
- Consider promoting or resteeming posts like this to increase awareness
- Let your friends who are capable of translating know about this opportunity
UNDER CONSTRUCITION?
Yes, this is still just an idea in its infancy. 
Read our posts about the matter and let us know:
- What have we overlooked?
- How can this effort be improved?
- Do you have a better name suggestion than “Operation Translation”?
- Do you have an idea for an official image that authors could use for this project?
