Twitter is asking volunteers to translate their mobile app into other languages

This is absurd and wrong. The company has a multi-billion dollar valuation and has been hiring “biz devs” left and right. Apparently, they can hire teams of people away from google and other Silicon Valley companies to hand-hold inane Hollywood stars but they can’t actually pay people to translate their app into Arabic.

Twitter wants to think of itself as the center of a revolution in communication but they aren’t willing to put up the money to actually do it. That’s shameful and wrong.
