The Utopian project is picking up more and more pace everyday and I am really grateful that I've been given the opportunity to contribute the landingpage for the project, which is a really important part to provide an overview for newcomers and investors. I can proudly say that I am really very happy with it now. A lucky coincidence (discovering gsap) and the awesome design from 
There's at least one final task for now that has still to be done. I really believe that it would be a great benefit to have the landingpage translated into as many languages as possible or at least the most common ones. Although the utopian.io platform itself probably won't be multilingual anytime soon, I decided that I want to go through this struggle for the landingpage... and there's quite some text to translate.
I know that translations, if done properly, are very time consuming and first and foremost very difficult to validate. Unfortunately not everyone is honorable and trustworthy enough to just accept a translation without double checking everything. The translation category has been abused many times (copy-pasted machine translations or just poor quality) and there's an ongoing discussion on discord on how to deal with it. I think you can expect some rule changes for that category and maybe other updates soon.
On one hand, as mentioned, I want as many languages as possible but on the other hand the work that comes with each language might, in many cases, exceed the benefits. So I would like to focus on the most important ones.

This list does not claim to be complete but I think a great portion of our worlds population would be covered. I made it roughly based on Wikipedia's List of languages by total number of speakers. If you miss your language and you think it's worth to be added, feel free to make suggestions in the comments.
Update: I now also added Turkish and Norwegian because there were translations on crowdin already and I don't want to waste this work. But from now on everything happens on GitHub. The crowdin project is now closed.
Incoming translations won't be accepted unless I am convinced that it's a genuine translation effort of appropriate quality. I simply love this project too much to be negligent. (This doesn't apply to any contribution reports you write. That's the moderators business. :P)
I mentioned it before. The translation category is subject to abuse. Keep in mind that I will do my best to check your translation. Machine translations will be identified and I will try to find and consult a second native speaker for every language, to validate submitted translations. You can of course use the common online tools to help you with the translations but unreviewed unreviewed copy and paste is a no-go!
I also recommend to talk to me first, before you start translating to avoid multiple translations for one language.
The landingpage and all of its content might (and most likely will) change over time. It's important to have good translators at hand, so that changes can be quickly applied to all languages. There won't be a task request like this one for every little change. Every submitted translation will also be seen as a long term commitment too. This maybe won't work for everyone and it's not strictly required but please just keep that in mind that I'm not only looking for one-shot translators but long-term localization partners for utopian as a whole.
In general Utopian needs more good and committed people with different native languages to check all the contributions in the translation category and others. So, if you're confident and fluent in English and one or more other languages, you can be of great help to the moderators team. Meet them on Discord!
I think that's it! Oh just one last thing... you will be able to follow the progress at:
https://utopian-io.github.io/utopian-io-landingpage/
You can already see the language switcher and some german translation.
Once the first few translations are 100% complete and checked and validated and so on, I think we can then update the live page at join.utopian.io, language by language.
Happy translating! :D
