I’m a big StackOverflow fan, but I think this question belongs here, correct me if I’m wrong.
So basically I’m trying to localize my plugin in as many languages as possible. I posted a section on the docs to reach people that wants to help translating but I only got one contributor that attached a German translation. So far I got 4 languages, English, Spanish, French and German.
So my question is, how do you guys translate your projects? Where do you find people interested in contributing? Does anybody use Google translate to do the job?

There are really only two ways to get someone to do work for you. Either you pay them for it, or you get them to want to do it without being paid.
Assuming you’re not looking to hire translators, your best bet is to do exactly what you’re doing–make it known among your users that you’re looking for localization–and then try to increase the size of your user base. The more people you have using the program, the more likely you are to run into someone who has the skills and the desire to help you out.
