In this developer interview we talk someone who started with helping out other developers by translating comments in the code from German to English.
“Translating of comments brings me across different parts of the code, so I get a feeling for LibreOffice.”
LibreOffice can only exist since people are working on it: so please ! tell us a bit about yourself.…
Again a new story in our series of developer interviews.

Our hope is that these will build understanding of the growing community working to improve LibreOffice, make connections with others, and show that it is indeed possible to get stuck in and contribute to the code. Clearly the views expressed here are the un-edited views of the interviewee themselves, and not The Document Foundation, yet hopefully over time they will provide a useful flavour of the community.…
