### Astro 3 day - Ben

- Ben shows of his WOMP built with Astro 3 over launch week

### Community/i18n day - Sarah

(- continuing on v3.0 topic: guide, launching in several languages)

- i18n focus
- Yan's first Astro blog post/byline! [(show the post)](https://astro.build/blog/astro-i18n/)
- describes our committment to "more than" code contributions
- Yan's explorations and advances with our translator tooling: i18n.docs.astro.build and expanded to Starlight
- New translator contributor guides
- this past week showed influx of new people wanting to contribute and translate
- reminder: translating is a GREAT way to start contributing, because it forces you to look really closely at Astro Docs, get to know parts of how Astro is used super well. Then from there, many translators go on to contribute to the astro core codebase, or many of our other repos like create-astro, tooling, congratsbot. And, because we do "docs-as-code", you'll already be onboarded with the GitHub/repo/PR system.
