Here's a new blog post about us in French: Liberapay, dons open-source.

I post a comment referencing liberapay/liberapay.com#391, feel free to moderate it if I'm wrong.

I've fixed the link and tweaked the wording ("polémique" was inappropriate).

We have very few +1, like and share. It might be good if @liberapay/media-managers, @liberapay/codirectors and @liberapay/techs would help us spread the word! (sorry for the noise)

From #2 (comment):

Thanks to @mcl1234 our Spanish and Italian translations are at ~100%! \o/

This is very good news that we should post on social networks. @mcl1234 Can you write or translate announcement messages in Spanish and Italian?

[Changaco]

According to our other Spanish translator, the new translations aren't good enough to brag about (liberapay/liberapay.com@8b5fb70#commitcomment-18638995).

I took the responsibility to share this article on facebook and I had an instant reshare: https://opensource.com/open-organization/16/7/compensating-employees-letting-them-take-what-they-want

Good news to end the month: our Dutch, Esperanto, German, and Portuguese translations have reached ~100%. Once again thanks to @mcl1234.

(Coincidentally, I noticed an article in French about Esperanto and free software today: État de l’espéranto sous GNU/Linux - LinuxFr.org.)

We really should post something on social media about the progress of our i18n, and call for fluent/native speakers to review and improve the translations.

@MartinDelille It's better if you give the link, in this case https://www.facebook.com/Liberapay/posts/651633268328417. ;-)

@oakes I want to thank you (again?) for pushing the original i18n of Gittip/Gratipay two years ago (gratipay/gratipay.com#2599). :-) Without you Liberapay probably wouldn't have 7 complete translations today including Esperanto. ;-)

@Changaco I shared it from my phone so it was not very convenient to do that but you're totally right!
