I noticed issues with the Romanian version and just dropped them an email asking if they needed my help.
I was born in Brazil and I am a retired electronic engineer. I have been using MyHeritage for several years and I already have a tree of more than 1000 family members. To help other families, I decided to make translations for MyHeritage. It is very pleasant to know that I can help other people. I like to travel and that's why I'm living in Portugal right now. I hope to meet everyone on my travels.
With MyHeritage, I found out that a lot of people are researching their family history and combining all that energy creates a very powerful movement to reveal long hidden secrets.
When I started my family tree in MyHeritage I found that it was available in more than 30 languages, but not in my native language, Afrikaans. I thought: I have the time and the skills so why not do something that can benefit all MyHeritage Afrikaans users?
The history of our ancestors has always fascinated me, so I decided to build my family tree to understand where I came from. Portuguese is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, reason why I offer my services, as a volunteer translator.
I was curious about how the translation of a portal as big as MyHeritage works, and I wanted to help to improve Italian translations.

I've investigated my Family Tree since 1991. When it became more usance to find information on the Internet, I joined MyHeritage and Family Tree Builder. I am happy to provide my translation skills to MH and my English vocabulary is increasing while doing.
I am happy I found MyHeritage some years ago and could get a lot of new information about my relatives. I would like to help other Latvians to use it in our nice language.
I've been researching my family tree since 2010 and am still discovering new family members each day. Helping people with their research or through a translation is something that ties the community together.
I grew up in Costa Rica. I have lived in 5 different countries and speak 4 languages.
I'm happy to be a part of the MyHeritage Translator Community.
I noticed an invitation and got interested. And, as a side effect, I learn a lot of new things, since I have to read texts (and translate them) that I might not have spent time on otherwise. With MyHeritage, I found out in a practical way that humanity is interconnected.
I am very happy to help make MyHeritage more available for Norwegian users, and I learn a lot myself. I was asked by MyHeritage to become a translator. Being a translator at MyHeritage is very interesting and useful!

I joined the translator community to take advantage of a a free MyHeritage site subscription :)
I have been interested in my family history since childhood. I am also interested in history in general and MyHeritage provides a wonderful source of interesting information.

I became a volunteer in the context of creating our Family Tree from the MyHeritage FTB program and through interaction with a Translation Team member. Being a translator at MyHeritage is an honor.
I was looking for a tool to build a family tree and came across the MyHeritage web page. There was a demand for volunteer translators and I thought I could contribute. That was probably my first commitment to volunteer work of any scale.
I have been helping people for years with their family history. When I learnt about all the new tools MyHeritage was planning, I just had to join! And share in my own language.
I love discovering my family history on MyHeritage and I want to wish this joy to other fans of family trees in the Slovak language, too.
After my retirement, I found out that MyHeritage was looking for translators, which I wanted to try.
It makes me happy to enable fellow Latvians to use great IT solutions in our native language. MyHeritage is both interesting and useful and I am looking forward to making it even more accessible.
I was invited. I found it interesting and very much in my area of interest. Apparently I passed a test task (not called so) and here I am. Being a translator at MyHeritage is challenging in various aspects, but always gratifying.
With a keen interest in genealogy and a desire to help others, I jumped at the opportunity to become part of this community
In my daily work I use applications in English and did so, at first, with MyHeritage. When I switched to Swedish I didn't find it useful and the alternative was to switch back or help out. Guess what I did :)
I looked for a good genealogy tool and found that many Latvians are using it. So I decided to volunteer to facilitate work with the programe.
Two things drove me to join the Community — the Polish translation of the website was not very good (I think I'm a purist) and willingness to get a free subscription :)
Started using Family Tree Builder and wanted to use it in my native language. Translated FTB and when this project was finished a member of the Translations Team asked me if I wanted to translate web pages as well. I agreed and am still translating to this day.
Being a translator on MyHeritage is a challenge and at the same time a health treatment, because it keeps a part of my brain active which otherwise could have died.
Some people say that you need to chase the luck if you want to get it. Maybe it was like this also with this role. In the past, I wanted to do it as full time job. But doing it for the passion is bit more interesting.
Simply wrote a line to one of the Translations team members and off we went. Why, I can't even remember, but probably I had questions about something in FTB. Early days and not everything was translated. Being a translator at MyHeritage is educational.
I was born and raised in Romania and I live in Germany for 11 years. I translate into Romanian for 5 years, I love music and genealogy, I like to do research on my ancestors in the archive of Romania where everything is on old paper and in dark rooms.
When I started my family tree, I had only very limited knowledge of my ancestors. With MyHeritage I have made many exiting and surprising discoveries. Now I know where my forefathers are coming from. I recommended MyHeritage to many of my acquaintances.
I am very excited to explore our family history and look for my ancestors. Being a translator on MyHeritage is one way of supporting the community in the search for their ancestors in their native language.
I enjoy being part in such projects, so helping others with my knowledge makes me feel good.
One of the MyHeritage Translations team members sent me an email after she found that I spent most of my time with my family tree. It;s funny to be a translator!
I used MyHeritage for years, and sent feedback mails each time I saw translation errors, so someone proposed me to join the translator community. I am trying to make the site easier to use for everyone.
I am honored to help the community. I like to search for the history of my family, this way I will be able to contribute with something.
Being a translator at MyHeritage is an honor for me! With MyHeritage, I found out that genealogy really connects the world.
I am a beginner in genealogy (been active since Spring of 2020) and find it very exciting not to know what emerges. I am thorough and look forward to giving Swedish-speaking users as good a translation as possible.
It is important to me that while working with genealogy, I treat my ancestors with respect - and part of that is decent language and correct spelling and grammar. I am happy to help making sure that MyHeritage, as the main tool for my genealogy, lives up to that in my language.
My own MyHeritage family tree drove me to join the Community. Glad to be chosen! MyHeritage is a big enrichment for my family feeling.
I found a great place for discovering family history, and I wanted to make it usable in my language, so I became a part of an amazing translator community. Helping with translations is a unique opportunity for me, especially when it benefits the Serbian users.

I became a MyHeritage translator with the aim of contributing for better wording.
Being a translator is an opportunity and an interesting change during a busy day. I also better understand how to make a professionally good marketing communication with the customers to whom the various products are addressed.
I started volunteering when I created a tree for my mother. I couldn't do it in Spanish as we speak Catalan. I told MyHeritage and they said I could start translating into Catalan so that people in my country would have a translation in their language. They were right!

Genealogy is my passion and translating for MyHeritage it’s a great challenge for me.
I started researching my family years ago, and have spent a lot of time in MyHeritage. It has helped me a lot! Many of my relatives don’t know English to join me in the research. I wanted to be able to help translate MyHeritage to our native language.
I am happy to be part of the MyHeritage Translators community and assist in making the product more acceptable to my family and others here in Lithuania.
Our family is relatively large and we speak several foreign languages during the reunion. It is exciting to build a family tree and get to know more distant relatives with whom we form a blood community. MyHeritage is an excellent tool for this activity.
I have been using MyHeritage for several years.
I thank MyHeritage for giving me the opportunity to join the Translator Community so that altogether will assist thousands of people to find their ancestors and their relatives.
Genealogy is a fantastic experience. To look behind means to understand better what we have, who we are and what we do everyday. It sends you to your origins and makes you feel you are part of all those people.
I translated movie subtitles years ago, so it seemed natural to me to become a translator at MyHeritage, once I started to build my family tree.

Being a translator is being part of the wonderful MyHeritage family. We all have the same goal in mind and that's what's making MyHeritage a bit better every day! When I saw the possibility to sign up as a volunteer I took the chance! I love being part of the MyHeritage Community and contributing in my own way.
I think I was contacted by telephone and I immediately accepted the offer to become a volunteer translator in order to improve my knowledge of MyHeritage features. Being a translator at MyHeritage is an exciting experience!
I was asked by one of the Translations team members to become a volunteer.
Being a translator at MyHeritage is rewarding.
I like that MyHeritage allows people to create a family tree in their language. I hope to help improve the Slovak version of MyHeritage and, thus, my pedigree.

I have been a voluntary translator for MyHeritage since 2014, and hopefully, this work has reflected the fact that I am a professional journalist and translator. I've always enjoyed translating for MH and keeping in close contact with the Translation Team.
Being a translator at MyHeritage is a way to learn a lot about genealogy and also a very pleasant hobby.
I had a couple of comments about the Czech translations and then I was approached to help with the translations. Being a translator at MyHeritage is to be on the right place for the right thing.
I started a family tree project for myself, and found the FTB pretty useful. I then contacted MyHeritage with the aim of correcting the FTB reports.
There are not that many applications that help you do something as meaningful as help investigate one's past and show us how interconnected we all are. MyHeritage is constantly reminding me of important things in life.
Joining the MyHeritage Translations Community was very useful to me, for my research and to gain new experience.
I immediately realized that MyHeritage genealogy adventures in our country will be much easier for Czech people in their native language. As English is one of my hobbies, I offered my hand to MyHeritage with translations!
I found information about the Community on the MyHeritage website so I thought I could help other Russian users to use MyHeritage in a more friendly way and I decided to join the Community. Now I'm very proud to be a part of it. It also helps me to practice my English.
An Architect with a great passion for history and a better knowledge of "his-story" more likely their stories. Since 2007 do my best not only for MyHeritage content with increasing Slovak docs, but also for people looking for their own roots in this story.
Being a translator at MyHeritage is a privilege that I can correct used expressions to better ones anytime.
Being a translator at MyHeritage is my little contribution to worldwide community of volunteer translators who helps reuniting relatives and families separated due to economic emigrations, wars and continuously geopolitical border changing.
I find it challenging but also meaningful to be a translator at MyHeritage.
One day, while doing my family research, I came across a Russian phrase on the website that looked strange to a native speaker. I realized I might be helpful as a volunteer for the site that has given me so much all these years.
I learned English for about 10 years and have some experience in translating in many sport events in Croatia. For many years I organized the transportation of athletes from all over the world to various sports competitions in Croatia.
MyHeritage helped me put together a family tree in a couple of weeks that I had been unsuccessfully trying to organize for a few years. I will help MyHeritage to switch Serbian from Latin script to official Cyrillic script. If Google can do it, so can we.
I have been researching my family roots for more than a decade. I have found a lot of help with this activity through MyHeritage and now I am happy to help others as a member of the Translators' Team. It is an honor for me, too.
I was searching for family tree on the internet and when I found MyHeritage I got an email from a translations team member to join the Community.

Since my father was adopted, I’ve struggled a lot finding relatives on his side, but the DNA test solved a lot of issues, and now I have found a lot of relatives through MyHeritage.

I was born in Brazil and I am a retired electronic engineer. I have been using MyHeritage for several years and I already have a tree of more than 1000 family members. To help other families, I decided to make translations for MyHeritage. It is very pleasant to know that I can help other people. I like to travel and that's why I'm living in Portugal right now. I hope to meet everyone on my travels.

When I started my family tree in MyHeritage I found that it was available in more than 30 languages, but not in my native language, Afrikaans. I thought: I have the time and the skills so why not do something that can benefit all MyHeritage Afrikaans users?
Gerald Dixon van Eeden

The history of our ancestors has always fascinated me, so I decided to build my family tree to understand where I came from. Portuguese is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, reason why I offer my services, as a volunteer translator.

Marian Pavla

Simply wrote a line to one of the Translations team members and off we went. Why, I can't even remember, but probably I had questions about something in FTB. Early days and not everything was translated. Being a translator at MyHeritage is educational.
