I became involved in the Mozilla project in 2001, mostly in the support and tech evangelism areas. I rapidly started creating portals and web projects in French and Spanish and later the first multilingual website about Mozilla (Mozilla Europe). I was then contacted by Mozilla to work on internationalizing Mozilla sites in 2006 and still work in this field today.<\/p>\n<p>My job title says that I am &#8220;Web Localization Lead&#8221; but I see myself more as a creator of communities with a focus on international projects.
