Loomio

Multi-Lingual Groups & Translation?

Matthew Cropp PublicSeen by 49

One of the most recent investment clubs in the Co-op Principal network has a number of members who exclusively speak Spanish, and at our last inter-club call their rep mentioned that using Loomio for decision-making has been challenging from a linguistic inclusivity perspecitve.

Has there been thought given yet to translation plug-ins or other tools to facilitate such communication in such groups?

Loomio has inline translation support. We detect what language your browser uses (you can also override this via preferences). When we notice someone else uses a different language we display a translate button below the text which uses Google translate to convert the text into your language.

We've had reports that this can be really useful in multilingual groups
