## Introduction

As indicated in my [earlier post here on DEV seeking Hacktoberfest contributors](https://dev.to/cicirello/hacktoberfest-2023-contributors-wanted-additional-translations-for-the-user-statistician-github-action-3bb5), I'm looking for anyone interested in contributing a translation of the headings and labels, etc of the SVGs generated by the [user-statistician](https://github.com/cicirello/user-statistician) GitHub Action to additional languages. The user-statistician action generates an SVG summarizing various information about your activity on GitHub, including general information (e.g., year you joined, number of followers, number you are following, etc), information about your repositories (e.g., numbers of stars and forks, etc), information about your contributions (e.g., numbers of commits, issues, PRs, etc), and the distribution of languages within your public repositories.

## Update

One of the many ways that it is customizable is the language used for the various headings and labels. During the first week or so of Hacktoberfest 2023, there are 5 new contributors who contributed 5 new language translations. Actually, all 5 of these were contributed within the first 5 days of Hacktoberfest.

__Newly Supported Languages:__ Finnish, Malayalam, Persian, Swedish, and Tagalog.

__All Supported Languages:__ Thanks to these 5 new contributors, the action now supports the following 29 languages: Bahasa Indonesia, Bengali, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Lithuanian, Malayalam, Norwegian, Odia, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Santali, Serbian, Spanish, Swedish, Tagalog, Thai, Turkish, and Ukrainian.

## Hacktoberfest Contributors Still Welcome 

There are still [9 open issues for language translations](https://github.com/cicirello/user-statistician/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22). Additionally, if you'd like to contribute a translation to a language not already supported that doesn't already have an associated issue, you can start by submitting an issue.

There are detailed instructions for [contributing a language translation](https://github.com/cicirello/user-statistician#contributing-a-translation) within the README in the repository, as well as in [my earlier DEV post](https://dev.to/cicirello/hacktoberfest-2023-contributors-wanted-additional-translations-for-the-user-statistician-github-action-3bb5).
