👋Welcome

Butterfly: a community-driven translation platform for software.

Welcome to the heart of Butterfly, a community-driven ecosystem where language is no longer a barrier to innovation. We believe that the best software should be accessible to everyone, regardless of the language they speak or where they live.

At its core, Butterfly is built on the power of collective effort. It is a space where users help other users to make software more inclusive worldwide. Instead of waiting for large corporations to localize their tools, our community takes the lead. By contributing translations, you ensure that someone on the other side of the globe can use a life-changing app in their own native tongue.

The Butterfly Effect

Our platform is named after the "Butterfly Effect": the idea that a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. In our community:

• One small contribution (like translating a single button or a menu item) can ripple outward.

• That tiny action can eventually help thousands of others navigate an interface they previously couldn't understand. Your small act of kindness creates a massive wave of global accessibility.

Rewards

We believe your dedication deserves recognition. To honor your contributions, we have implemented a unique reward system tied to the projects you support:

• Collect Butterflies: As you contribute high-quality translations, you earn digital "Butterflies" specific to that project.

• Release into the Wild: Once you have gathered enough, you can "release" your Butterflies.

• Receive Rewards: Releasing Butterflies triggers rewards from the app's original developer. These can range from premium features and exclusive badges to specialized discounts or early access to new builds.

Every word you translate brings the world a little closer together. We are so glad to have you with us.
