How to Become a Host for Our Podcast in Your Language
If you’re passionate about WordPress and want to help bring our podcast to more languages, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to become one of our hosts.
Requirements:
- Language Proficiency: You need to be fluent in the language you want to translate into.
- Knowledge of Spanish or English: You should understand Spanish or English, since our base texts are in these languages.
- Time Commitment: Approximately 1 hour per week.
- Equipment: A good quality microphone for recording your voice.
Objective:
- Produce an audio track with only your voice.
- Provide the final translated text in your chosen language.
Procedure:
- Text Publication:
- Every Saturday morning (around 11:00 UTC), we publish the text files in Spanish and English on GitHub.
- The texts are in Markdown format to facilitate their use.
- Translation and Recording:
- Once the documents are published, you can start the translation and recording process.
- Most of our collaborators complete this task between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning.
- Audio Submission:
- On Monday afternoon, between 6 and 12 hours before 00:00 UTC on Tuesday, we collect all the audio files.
- We handle the post-production and scheduling so that all episodes are published on podcast platforms.
What If You Can’t Meet the Deadline?
- Don’t worry. While our goal is to publish on Tuesdays at 00:00 UTC, we understand that things can come up. In such cases, we can adjust the publication throughout the week.
