The WHN is looking for translators!
Inspired by @papa-pepper’s “Operation Translation,” I am looking for individuals fluent in both English and at least one other language in order to translate the content of the newsletter and make it available to a larger audience! Translators may keep any/all monetary reward the translated WHN article makes! Translators may NOT use Google Translate or remove/add any content from the newsletter! Translators must link back to the original WHN and give credit to the original author (@kiaraantonoviche) within their translated article! It is a big commitment, but I sincerely believe worth it. Contact me if you are interested and would like to learn more/apply!
Languages Covered:

Apologies for the short issue - this week has been very difficult and it's taken 100% of my energy just to keep my head above the water. Thanks for understanding. As always, if there are any mistakes please let me know!
