If you're bored, have some free time, and enjoy coding programs then do we have the contest for you! The team over at Ryzom have put together a brand new API for their game, and they're celebrating its launch with a contest for budding developers! Even better, the prizes are all monetary!
What the Ryzom team is looking for is people who can utilize their new API for whatever gadgets, tools, or websites they can dream up. The winning use of the API will be the one that displays innovation, usefulness, ease-of-use, multilingual support, validity and completeness, and optimized coding. Popularity, stability, and availability will be taken into consideration as well with all coding entries.
The winning entry will receive 3,000 euros (approximately 4,200 US dollars), second place will receive 1,000 euros (1,400 US dollars), and third place will be netting 500 euros (700 US dollars.)
So what are you waiting for? Get coding!
[Thanks, J3kyll!]

Unfortunately, this sort of pre-requires some working knowledge of Ryzom, of which I have none. ='(

szsleepy, it doesn't appear to require you to have some working knowledge of Ryzom- I've never played it and I put together a Ryzom plugin for my WordPress plugin "Metaverse ID" last night.
All without ever playing the game :-P

As THAC0 says, support doesn't necessarily mean you need to translate it yourself. With my entry being a WordPress plugin, I can just use the built-in Internationalisation support for plugins.
