Whatever task you'd like to start with, please consider our Spelling Conventions and Recurring Terms so that we have the most consistency possible in our multilingual texts! (Also feel free to add things on there as soon as you notice them! If you're not sure about something, just do what you always should do in times of doubt: Talk to us about it on Slack! (smile))

If you haven't already, it's probably best if you create an account on Slack to get in contact with us! There are people online everyday and they are happy to help you with whatever problem you may encounter! They are also good at praising you for your commitment and skills, so you should definitely come around... (wink)

Slack has some awesome features and is definitely more than just your run off themill chatroom! We encourage everyone to use their real name (or something close to it) and a real foto as we identify as a community of real people that just happens to be scattered throughout the world. It also would be helpful if you indicated the languages you are able to use in your profile, so that we can easily see which tasks you could help with. On top of that Slack has great emoji (even custom ones you can add! ^^) and a pool of nice loading messages (yep, this is also expandable!). You can directly react with emoji on everything said by others when you hover about the text and click the little smiley that appears on the right, you can direct messages at one user (and automatically notify them about it) by adding @personsname in your post, you can open seperate chatrooms and invite only specific people to a conversation and so much more...

Trello is an online task management system that we use to keep track of current tasks which are not reoccuring regularly or open forever (like the website translation, which will always be a task unless we have all the languages that exist integrated on there. And that.. is not very likely to happen...^^). So this is mostly about proofreading stuff and things that need to be taken care of in a set timeframe. Our use of Trello is not very regular at the moment, meaning that there are times when we are actively using it and times when we're not. So for you, who is just getting started in the yunity translation team, getting a trello account probably is low priority since you can see what is going on there anyways, due to the automatically generated messages on Slack whenever a card i created, moved or commented on.
