Are you a language-lover up for an extra challenge? Transcribe & review pages in French, German, even Neo-Aramaic in our current campaigns! Our discussion forum (go.usa.gov/xynfq) helps connect non-English pages (like this one) to folks who can put their fluencies to work! pic.twitter.com/Wr6Bua12Fb
