TIG in Portugheza
TakingITGlobal and the Global Youth Action Network are very proud to present the result of work that begun more than a year ago: the Portuguese Version of TakingITGlobal's online community! In addition to having Spanish, Arabic, French and Russian platforms available, it will now be possible to choose "Português" when you're navigating through the website to have access to all the content in Portuguese. This accomplishment was only made possible with the hard work of the translation group and some other very special people that helped us out along the way. The final phase of this task was coordinated by Barbara Azevedo, our Portuguese Engagement Coordinator working from GYAN's Regional Office in Brazil.Let us not forget that TIG's content is always renewing itself, so there still is a lot of work to be done! If you want to join this team of successful translators, click here. Apropo, iata o lista de oameni pe care vrem sa ii felicitam public pentru contributiile lor:Talita Montiel, Felipe Butelli, Felipe Portela, Mayra Peixoto, Julia Furlan, Gustavo Nicoletta, Luana Cavalcanti, Bruna, Ana Boa-Ventura, Pedro Piza, Daniel Taminato, Alberto Cauaia, Larissa Cavalcante si, ultimii,dar nu cei din urma, Diogo Andre si Melina Laboucan-Massimo.
