<div dir="ltr">Lucy these are all awesome suggestions, and in general this is *exactly* the type of things I was suggesting for Maker Party. So thanks for the initiative - proves we can bang some of these out quickly :)</div>

<br></div>One initial bit of feedback is that I'd recommend using the new <a href="https://thimble.webmaker.org/project/10286/remix" target="_blank">Activity template</a> for the "Host a Translation Party" step in your kit for continuity's sake, instead of the older template you've linked to. This will give folks a more consistent experience as they move through the different parts of your kit. <br>
<br>Another recommendation is to add a photo or two of translators in action, so users can see how fun the process can be. There are some good photos from Mozfest in the Flickr repo here: <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/mozilladrumbeat/favorites/" target="_blank">https://www.flickr.com/photos/mozilladrumbeat/favorites/</a> (Happy to help you find some specific ones, if interested). <br>
<br></div>Will definitely feature this in the <a href="https://blog.webmaker.org/community-literacies-2" target="_blank">Community Literacies</a> series when you're finished, so keep us posted on your progress!<br><br>

Another thing to add to your list is that in addition to doing translation, people could also test drive localized versions of our things with their community. "Mom, what do you think of this?" around the kitchen table, with the xx-YY version of Webmaker on the screen. Having a way for people to bring back local and locale-aware knowledge and tell us what is wrong or odd would be great. <br>
