During the crowdfunding campaign, we continued to work on the localization system. And we are happy to announce it's finally completed: it will be available in the next beta (beta 10) of PeerTube. As of this writing, the web interface is already available in english, french, basque, catalan, czech and esperanto (huge thank you to all of the translators). If you too want to help translating PeerTube, do not hesitate to check out the documentation!
Moreover, Chocobozzz works on internal Framasoft's projects (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://framapad.org">Framapad</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://framatalk.org">Framatalk</a>, etc.). In other words, the management of PeerTube projects is operated by only one employee, who has other responsabilities in addition to his workload.
If you have a minimum amount of time and technical skills, creating your own platform (also called "instance") <strong>on your server</strong> is the best way to take advantage of PeerTube.
Other Framasoft's volunteers and salaried members also contribute to the PeerTube project on various aspects (strategy, communication, development, community animation). Nevertheless, PeerTube is not developed by a startup with a team of 50 people, and a workflow full of hyper-formatted processes.
Framasoft will therefore takes the time to improve the software progressively, at its own pace and with its atypical methods which, so far, have proven to be rather effective.
PeerTube is part of several actions assembled by Framasoft in the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://contributopia.org">Contributopia roadmap</a>. These actions aim to propose alternative digital tools to those coming from surveillance capitalism, so that people who do not recognize themselves in such sustem, can create spaces of freedom.
PeerTube is a software created, developed and maintained by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://framasoft.org">Framasoft</a>, a French non-profit popular educational organization on digital issues. Framasoft has a French culture, respects French laws and is a political actor (« who participates in the life of the city-state ») of civil society.

Consequently, PeerTube development and/or management of websites associated with the PeerTube project (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://joinpeertube.org">joinpeertube.org</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://instances.joinpeertube.org">instances.joinpeertube.org</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://search.joinpeertube.org/">search.joinpeertube.org</a>, etc.) may not please everyone (in particular because of different ideas, ideologies of cultures).
