Ear to the ground, nose to the grind stone

While I’m not entirely sure what those two bromides actually mean, I’m relatively sure they apply to us.

We read every single email you send us. We really do. It’s how we make our decisions when we wake up in the morning:

“Matt and Adam”, we say, out loud. “What are we going to do today?”
“Why, let’s figure that out by seeing what our users want!”

Then we check our email.

Well today we figured out that a large portion of our users are not from America, and a large portion of those users don’t speak English at all. So we (and by we, I mean Adam, who does a vast vast majority of the coding) implemented full UTF8 support into Jotlet in a single day.

So now you may enter whatever characters you want… Japanese characters, cyrillic, those cool “a” characters that have a circle above them, etc. However, we are not fully “international”, yet…

Being completely ethnocentric, Adam and I don’t speak any other language but English (well, I’m fluent in American Sign Language, but I don’t think that’s much help). We need anyone who is multilingual to help us translate.

If you are interested in helping us translate a few words into a different language (’add event’, ‘add calendar’, ‘January’, etc.) then please shoot me an email at matt@jotlet.net. We can’t promise you fame or fortune, but we will put a thank you on our site, and, I don’t know, maybe we’ll send you a fruit basket or something.

I know! If you live outside of the United States, let us know if there’s something you want that you can’t get outside of the US. I know for a fact they don’t sell Pop Tarts in Germany, and that’s a crime.

Без перевода,
Matt

    I have to admit, as I was coding this up today, I decided that dragging and dropping Chinese and Russian events around in Jotlet is the coolest thing ever. Those letters look awesome!
