Bio

I am a localization project manager at Automattic. I have been involved in the Japanese WordPress community to help around translation, documentation, WordCamps & Meetups.
WordPress 日本語翻訳についての情報をお探しの方はこちらをご覧ください。

Polyglots Team global mentor / Japanese Team Locale Manager & General Translation Editor (GTE) / WordCamp Asia 2020-2021 Global Lead

Interests

WordPress, Japan, Japanese, i18n, l10n, translation, blogging, cooking, traveling, parenting

WordPress Origin Story

After I switched my personal blog system to WordPress, I started helping out with Japanese documentation and support forums because there was so little information on WordPress in Japanese back then.
You can read my HeroPress story here: https://heropress.com/essays/how-the-wordpress-community-helped-me-find-my-way/

I may be referred to as 高野直子 / Naoko McCracken / @naokomc in the past!
