+    <h1>FSFE announces 4 weeks of translation sprint</h1>
+
+    <p>Europe, 15 December 2008.</p>
+
+    <p newsteaser="yes">
+      The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) announces a translation sprint
+      for their web pages from 15 December 2008 to 11 January 2009.  The aim of
+      this sprint is to provide information about Free Software and FSFE's work
+      in as many languages as possible.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+      As one of its most important means of communication with the public, FSFE
+      hosts a web site at http://www.fsfeurope.org/.  Translating the texts and
+      making them available for people with different native languages has
+      always been important, and thanks to the untiring work of dozens of
+      volunteers all around Europe, the pages are available in up to 26
+      different languages.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+      Translating FSFE's web pages is a huge task.  More than 250 pages are
+      online, and several pages per week are added or updated and require new
+      translations.  There's always something left to do.  More help is always
+      welcome.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+      So FSFE announces a four weeks translation sprint from 15 December 2008
+      to 11 January 2009, combined with a call for new volunteers.  The job: to
+      translate from English to other European languages, and to proofread
+      translations.  The mission: to fill as many translation gaps as possible.
+      The candidate: you.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+      Translating and proofreading texts is a precious contribution to the work
+      of FSFE and an excellent chance to spontaneously take part in its
+      activities without long-term obligations.  And it's a great chance to
+      contribute in a way that doesn't cost money.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+      Interested?  Willing to spend some time on the future of Free Software?
+      Ready to join one of FSFE's largest volunteer groups?  Have a look at the
+      <a href="/contribute/translators/web.html">information page about webpage
+        translations</a>!  And if you have further questions, don't hesitate to
+      send an email to translators (at) fsfeurope.org.  Some of the language
+      groups have already declared some language-specific
+      <a href="http://wiki.fsfe.org/TranslatorsSprint">goals for the sprint</a>
+      - will you be helping your group to reach them?
