This document summarizes Automattic's efforts to translate WordPress.com into different languages from 2005 to 2017. It began with a focus on translating the WordPress.com interface using volunteer translators on GlotPress. Over time, it expanded its approach by partnering with top language service providers that have professional translators. By 2017, WordPress.com was translated into over 120 languages thanks to these efforts to make the platform accessible to more of the world's internet users.
