     (And yes, I know that saying that someone is both "epic" and "unsung" is a bit of an etymological fallacy. What I mean is that he's epic to the people who follow the inner workings of translatewiki.net, but unsung to the rest of the world. This little post is trying to fix it.)

     I want to tell you about an unsung hero of @wikipedia software localization: @mcdutchie, one of the most epically prolific translators on translatewiki. He translates to Dutch and to Interlingua, making Interlingua one of the very few languages that are almost always close to 100% localization of @mediawiki core and extensions. This is especially amazing given the fact there is no machine translation into Interlingua, which probably means that he types everything by hand.
