Add another language to something you shipped

Many users are excluded by English-only apps — localization is a real engineering skill with real judgement calls. Take a project you already shipped and add a working second-language toggle for a language you or a reviewer speaks: AI drafts the translation, you make it sound native.

The work brief

  1. 01Pick one of your shipped projects (landing page, game, tracker) and a language you actually speak.
  2. 02Engineer it properly: extract all user-facing strings into a translations structure, add a visible toggle, persist the choice.
  3. 03Translate with AI as a first draft, then fix it with a fluent speaker: tone, forms of address, what stays in English (buttons? technical terms?), and text that overflows the layout.
  4. 04Deploy the bilingual version and test it with one native-speaker who isn’t you.

What you’ll produce

5 deliverables

Submission standard

Submit the live bilingual URL, the repo, a side-by-side screenshot of both languages, and your translation decisions log. Name the real native speaker (not you) who reviewed the translation and one thing they corrected; your repo must build on your earlier project's history.

  • Live URL with the working language toggle

    Public linkRequired

  • Public repo showing the string extraction and toggle code

    Public repo — commit history must show the string-extraction and toggle added on TOP of your earlier project (dated commits building on prior history), not a single fresh dump. A one-commit repo fails the authenticity gate.

    Public linkRequired

  • Side-by-side screenshot: the same screen in both languages

    Image uploadRequired

  • Your decisions log: what AI translated wrong, tone choices, what you kept in English and why, layout breakages

    Written responseRequired

  • Who reviewed it (their relationship to you and how they know the language) and the one thing they corrected

    Describe them by relationship, not name — "my aunt, who has spoken Marathi all her life". The specific fix is what counts; generic "a friend checked it" fails.

    Short answerRequired

You’ll complete these inside your private workspace.

How your work is evaluated

The passing benchmark is 70/100.

Working toggle

29%

The live site switches languages fully and persists the choice.

Translation quality

29%

The translation reads native — fixed by a fluent speaker, not machine-dumped.

Localization engineering

14%

Strings properly extracted, not find-and-replaced; layout issues handled.

Real i18n on a real prior build

29%

Fails if the live toggle is broken/dead, the repo is a single fresh dump with no prior project history, or the native-reviewer detail is generic or absent. A relationship plus a specific correction is what is required — a reviewer named only by relationship is fully compliant.

How we grade your AI usage

30% of your score

Using AI is the point — it’s the skill this certificate proves. You’ll answer three short questions about how you used it: what you asked, what was wrong with its first answer, and what you changed. Specific, honest answers score high. “I pasted the brief and submitted the answer” scores near zero.
