August 2018 Summaries

Metabase has recently expanded its language offerings by adding Portuguese, following a similar release of a Spanish version earlier this month, thanks to the contributions of dedicated community members like Mauricio Sonegatti, Felipe Valtl de Mello, Ailton Bayma, and Fernando Spanò Junqueira de Paiva. Users can access the Portuguese version by updating to Metabase version 0.30.1 and setting their browser's preferred language to Portuguese, which also includes some bug fixes. This development highlights the active participation of the Metabase community in making the platform more accessible to non-English speakers, and further language expansions are anticipated in the near future.

Metabase, a popular open-source analytics platform, has recognized the need to cater to its international user base by offering translations in multiple languages. After announcing plans to make Metabase translatable, the company reached out to the open-source community for assistance, resulting in several translations currently in progress. A special acknowledgment is given to Joe Bordes for his significant contribution in completing the Spanish translation. To access Metabase in Spanish, users should ensure they have the latest version (0.30) and adjust their web browser's language settings accordingly. Additionally, Metabase has made it easier for users to participate in translation efforts through the POEditor platform, enabling more people to contribute without requiring technical expertise, which is expected to expedite the release of future translations.
