Yoola wire crochet patterns are going multilingual
August 12, 2021
In last week newsletter I invited you all to join forces and help me translate the patterns and video subtitle to additional languages, missed that ? look for my email in your spam folder and make sure to mark my email address as a safe one, can't find it there? maybe you didnt finalize the subscription process, you have to click the verification email sent to you after subscribing.

Now back to the subject, last week I invited clients that are fluent in one of the following languages : French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, German to help with translations, in return I offered 2 free patterns for each wire crochet pattern you translate. I know most of you are not professional translators, but nor am I a professional writer or editor, and still I know many of you enjoy my patterns.
The truth is I had no idea if anyone would join me on this, I approached this experiment with no expectations, best attitude to avoid disappointment, ha ha !
It's been a week since I started receiving your replies and WOW what a happy week this was ! I'm happy to share thay all 6 languages have translations in the work, several ladies have been super quick and their translations are ready and waiting for me to edit them graphically, apparently I'm the weakest link here...
This translations festival also includes the video subtitles, which means that with time you will start seeing the CC option available on more and more videos, its the same video links you already have! several subtitles are already live, look for them on the YoolaFlower, Pomegranate, YoolaCuff and Pixie beads, currently mainly in Spanish !
This is a great opportunity to remind you that video upgrades are now available seperatly from the PDF patterns, simply go to the specific pattern you want and choose the video upgrade option !
The first full pattern that is already available is the YoolaFlower in Spanish, but as I mentioned more are on the way... I will soon add a feature enabling you to look for patterns by language so you do not have to scroll through them all looking for translations...
Although the list of participants is great you could still join, you just may not get a pattern to translate right away, I'm a little behind in feeding , answering questions and editing...
How it works
pls only choose a language your are completely fluent in...
I will send you access to a doc file on google drive in English, with the pattern cut into phrases, so I can manage adding the photos later on.
once I get it back translated you will get a coupon code that will enable you to get free of charge the patterns of your choice. 2 for 1 :)
You will only have to do the wording, I will add the photos and illustrations.
Your name will appear as the translator on the header of the pattern, unless you prefer it doesn't...
as always I'm more than happy to hear your thoughts and feedbacks,
Love,
Yoola
