[liberationtech] Translators needed for an open source university election information app

[Mitch Downey]

Hi LibTech,

The EveryVote Facebook app is designed to improve campus engagement and
voter turnout in university student government elections. The app can help
students learn about and publicly interact with all of their candidates on
one easy-to-browse webpage.

The code is open source (AGPL) and could be easily modified and deployed
for student government elections anywhere in the world (if that country
uses Facebook). There is currently a functioning prototype of the
app<https://apps.facebook.com/everyvote>,
but there are still bugs, so our plan is to complete the app this Spring
and Summer in time for the US Fall 2013 university elections.

Would any LibTech members like to help translate the app into other
languages than English? There are only 98 English words (mostly duplicates)
that need translating, and you can get started right away by visiting
https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/university-election-info-app/.

Also, if you clicked the screenshots you know we are inserting historical
figure profiles for demonstration purposes. It'd be really cool to make
historical figure (highly influential non-living persons from anywhere in
the world) profiles in languages other than English. If that sounds fun to
you, please fill out the Historical Figure
Template<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OjnmYavu425zqtVX46dw3oZNVrP4hTE5iFUzWpKGZyI/pub>and
email it to
contactus at everyvote.org.

If you have any questions or feedback, we would really appreciate hearing
from you. Thanks!
