As part of Hacktoberfest 2022, the [user-statistician](https://github.com/cicirello/user-statistician) GitHub Action, which generates an SVG with a detailed summary of your activity on GitHub, is seeking contributors to translate the headings, labels, etc to additional languages for increased internationalization. This post is a brief update on the progress of this effort, as well as an additional call for Hacktoberfest contributors.

## Call for Contributors

There are still 19 days left of Hacktoberfest 2022.

Or if you stumble upon this post after Hacktoberfest, you are of course welcome to contribute at any time.

You are also of course welcome to contribute translations to any language not currently supported. If there isn't already an open issue for it, start by submitting an issue so I know you want to work on it.
