I had never heard of that before, but that is definitely a clever idea of making it fun to help out! I think that you are right in that they may be able to come up with something creative here. Let's hope they find a high quality solution that pleases everyone. But, more importantly, free Pinkberry tomorrow?!? Do tell more! Thanks for stopping by Diana!

I can ask my friend who works at LinkedIn if you like. Anywho, if its free work they should totally make a game up for users to engage to freely work for them......A great example is Google's Image Labeler game. http://images.google.com/imagelabeler/ Actually really fun. That and all the people playing are 'working' for google through fUN! =) -Diana P.S. Free Pinkberry tomorrow, Friday 5pm-9pm!!! www.twitter.com/HalfEmptyWallet Interesting.

You bring up a good point of who will be monitoring the quality of those translations. But, more importantly, will they be properly compensated for their work. I applaud LinkedIn for wanting to get the opinions of those in their community before embarking on this journey. I am similar in that, when I have new business to give, I like to give it to someone in my LinkedIn network. And that is what I hope LinkedIn does as well, giving real and fair renumeration for those that help them in localizing their site. - Neal Hi Sean,

I would consider this more of a Common Community Project. Whilst this project is a good idea to get the community involved, one area that LinkedIn may have been overlooked is the quality of translations & the time trade off of monitoring, maintaining, amending submissions. Hopefully LinkedIn will reward the submitted translations that qualify, whether this be monetary or as attribution on their site.

Even though (as well as yourself) can sometimes be critical of LinkedIn, we are actually showing our love and loyalty for the platform and hoping that LinkedIn can make itself an even better one by responding to some of our user requests.
