oTranscribe is used all over the world by people transcribing in many different languages. It's really important that they can use the app in their native language. Unfortunately, I only know English (and some very basic Japanese), so I would like to ask for your help in translating oTranscribe's interface.
In return, you will be credited on oTranscribe.com and the GitHub repo. (But not paid - oTranscribe is a non-commercial project.) You'll also have my eternal gratitude :)
A small number of initial translations have been completed, and I'd love to add more. I'd be incredibly thankful if you could provide your help. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me at otranscribe@elliotbentley.com.
-- Elliot Bentley, oTranscribe developer

Translate this new file in your language using the context guide below, and add the appropriate ISO code to the top. When you're done, open a new pull request so I can check and approve it. - If you're not a technical person: Even if the above made no sense to you, I'd still like your help!
