("Community Translator Program"). Through the Community Translator Program, you will be helping

Twitter by translating "user interface text strings" ("text strings"), software strings and phrases from

English into a language in which you are fluent. These translated "text strings" may then be accessed and

read by members of the Twitter community or others. Additionally, we may distribute the translated text

strings to various 3rd party developers or corporations, at our discretion, without compensation to you, to

enable them to build new products for their and the Twitter community's benefit. By enrolling as a

Community Translator using the online signup form provided, you agree to be bound by the terms and
