Rating widget now in multiple languages

This has to be one of the coolest things we're releasing in a while. As of this week, the outbrain rating widget is available in the following languages:

• Spanish
• Hebrew
• German
• French
• Polish
• ...and of course English

Here, for example, is the widget in French:

To get the widget in any of those languages, go to our super-simple installation page and select your preferred widget language. We do the rest for you.

Ori, our co-founder and CTO, wrote a great post about the translation process. I won't repeat everything here, but will just say that we're working with members of the outbrain community to translate the widget to many more languages in the near future. If you want to participate and help translate to your preferred language - please visit our internationalization wiki and take a stab. We already have 10+ new languages which are almost ready to launch.

A special thanks to all the folks who helped translate these versions: Or P (Hebrew), Danielle Mediouni & Ouriel Ohayon (French), Markus Tressl & Jean-Pierre Koenig (German), Jacek Wicinski & Amir Ferser (Polish) and Giorgio Saturno, TaYo & Leo Piccioli (Spanish). We love you!!

What about catalan??
I finished the translation a looong time ago!

Thanks Tonino. Here's what we do - once someone translates the texts to a particular language on our wiki, we try to find 2 more independent bloggers that can review and verify that the translation is good. Only after having 3 pairs of local eyes give a thumbs up do we schedule the language for the next product release slot (we release about once per week, so that's not a biggie).
Bottom line - we're as eager as you to release the Catalan version and will do so as soon as we can!

Greetings Yaron,

The WordPress install is indeed super-simple. Unfortunately, the tailor-made template (Illacrimo Widget Ready Version 1.01wr, http://wp-themes.designdisease.com/ ) of my website (http://www.daviesdailies.com ) seems to be breaking your plugin. Any idead of how I can have this fixed?

Best regards,
Jean-Marie
