Hey Sami, you might reach out to Gabe Cazares at the National Office. He currently does most/all of the translation work. I'm sure he'd love to have some help. 

Best regards

I actually would like to become a language interpreter or translator in the future, so translating the scholarship application might be a good experience and practice for me.  I speak Spanish fluently, having studied it in school for 9 years, and haven't gotten to practice lately, so doing some translations would be awesome.  I was not aware of anyone doing the Spanish translation, as nothing was posted to this list asking for volunteers, and I haven't heard of it from anyone else.  Does anyone know how I can become a Spanish translator for the NFB? If you don't know personally, do you know of anyone that I can contact? I know that the scholarship application is already translated, I'm just saying for the future, such as maybe translating next year's application and or other relevant NFB information.
