Well hello there, Ionic community! I wanted to take a moment and tell a story about a hashtag on Twitter. This hashtag<\/a> brought so many smiles to my face and everyone at the Ionic office that we decided it deserved more notoriety.<\/p>\n

This is the story of how #MyIonicStory<\/code> came to be and why it matters so much to us.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Humble Beginnings<\/h2>\n

A while back, it was brought to our attention that the Ionic Japan user group had undertaken an effort to translate all the Ionic docs into Japanese. Their logic was that those who speak little to no English would be able to use the docs more effectively if they could better understand Ionic Framework\u2019s APIs. So the community (all on their own) came together and translated all of the content on the docs site.<\/p>\n

This was amazing to see and inspired Perry<\/a>, who really took this to heart, to make it more official.<\/p>\n

So, he began collaborating with Masahiko Sakakibara<\/a> to integrate the Japanese docs into the official Ionic docs site<\/a> and created a process for translating more languages down the road:<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you so much for all of your work! Not only has it let us reach more people in Japan, you have given us a template we can use for other languages as well.<\/p>\n
