✍🌐 one tongue, one evening
Every page of this estate already speaks your language — but by
a machine's hand, and it says so honestly with a little ⚙ beside
every line. We are looking for one person per tongue, one evening each, to read those lines and sign them. When the last signature lands, this becomes
something rare: an estate whose every language was vouched for by a
person who lives in it.
the attestation campaign: ~197 wayfinding strings × every docked tongue,
all machine-drafted and labeled ⚙ on their face. attestation is review,
not retranslation — one focused evening per language turns its ⚙ to ✓ estate-wide, your name
(or your chosen silence) on the record forever. eighteen strangers, one tongue, one evening, history.
Campaign mechanics: the corpus (
lang-corpus.json)
carries _meta.attested, empty by design until humans sign. An attestation is a PR:
corrected lines via the DOCK workshop's merge verb + an attested entry {by|silence, date}. The
moment it merges, the estate-wide picker renders ✓ for that tongue instead of ⚙ — the
campaign's progress is enforced by the renderer, not claimed by a page. Effort, measured: review
at ~15–25 s/string ≈ 1–2 h/tongue; the full set ≈ 1–2 human-hours per tongue, perfectly parallel.…tongues human-attested — live from the corpus, not a claim
the board — live, read from the same file the pickers read
| tongue | strings docked | status | why this one matters |

the ⭐ ten are founder-ordered deployment coordinates (2026-08-21): Russian → Latvian →
Ukrainian → Gàidhlig → Czech (Trezor's home) → Chinese → Korean (new to the corpus by his word) →
Thai → Arabic (hardwired + the RTL proof) → Vlaams (Tomorrowland's jurisdiction). But the first signature
wins the first place in history regardless of order — attest what you live in.
how — one evening, four steps, no account
1 · open the DOCK workshop, pick 🔀 merge,
choose your tongue — every line prefills beside its English.
2 · read; fix what a native ear rejects (the standing law, the founder's words: "make all appropriate to the culture / language / value / history / future"). Most lines will need nothing — say so by leaving them.
3 · compose the fragment, and add your attested entry:
4 · open a PR against surfaces/lang-corpus.json (or hand the fragment to any hive member on any rail). The moment it merges, every page in the estate switches your tongue's ⚙ to ✓ — the renderer enforces your signature, forever, in the git record.

The laws that protect you and everyone after you:
a machine draft never finalizes a consent (ceremony strings are excluded from this campaign by
law and await their own stricter process) · names are names, never translated · your withdrawal,
should you ever want it, is honored with history kept — the dock forgets nothing.
spread the call — composed for the founder's rails, carried by human hands
🌐 ONE TONGUE, ONE EVENING — help us make a small piece of history. Our whole open-source estate (46 dApps: on-chain art, nutrition science, learning, markets) already speaks 25+ languages — but by machine, and every machine line wears a ⚙ label that says so. No fake fluency, anywhere. We need one human per tongue, one per tongue, one evening each (~1–2 h): read your language's ~200 short lines, fix what a native ear rejects, sign it. Your name (or your chosen silence) goes in the permanent record, and every page switches your tongue's ⚙ to ✓ the moment your signature merges. Tongues waiting: русский · latviešu · українська · Gàidhlig · čeština · 中文 · 한국어 · ไทย · العربية · Vlaams · español · Nederlands · Deutsch · français · עברית · हिन्दी · বাংলা · فارسی Start here (no account, no install): https://beehive-nature.github.io/beehive-nature/surfaces/attest.html #OpenSource #i18n #AGPL
the page composes; the founder publishes — the
outward-facing law, unchanged even for invitations.
