Web Publishing for All! Introducing Community Translator Tools | Blogs | WordPress | Blogging | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
We're excited to announce new tools that help make WordPress even more accessible to people around the globe.


Roughly half of the content and traffic on the internet is in English1, yet English is the mother tongue of only about a quarter of internet users2, and less than 5% of the world’s population.3 We believe that WordPress.com should be for everyone, not just English speakers — it’s why we already serve WordPress in 131 languages — but we want to make it even more accessible.4

To keep so many languages up to date we need to make it radically easier for non-English speaking communities to help with translation. We’re proud to announce our latest step in that direction: the Community Translator.
