## TALK TOPICS

For the first time, FOSDEM will hold a devroom on all things related to 
translating FLOSS projects.

* Recruiting new people to translate your project.
* How it works in your project to translate softwares, websites, 
packages, manuals, tools, and so on.
* Which tools are used by translators.
* Exchange experiences between FLOSS projects.
* Rewarding volunteer contributors and keeping volunteers motivated.
* Showing which languages your project has been translated.

Again, these are just suggestions. We welcome proposals on any aspect of 
translations!

* Your submission must include the following information:

of you speaking elsewhere, or even just a list of talks you have done 
previously. First time speakers are, of course, welcome!
