Language is the style we apply to our words to convey our message. It came from the Old French word *langage* (which means "speech, words, oratory; a tribe, people, nation") which came from the Latin word *lingua* (which means "tounge") <sup>1</sup>.

### 1. Translation

Here's the link to my translation contribution to busy.org:

>  [Crowdin - Busy's Filipino Translation](https://crowdin.com/translate/busy/13/en-fil)

### 2. Proof of Work

As suggested by @valchiz, here are snapshots of my work:

#### 2.1. "Get the Busy boost!" -> "Hingin ang tulong ng Busy!"

<div class="pull-right">

</div>

This is the translation for:
> Get the Busy boost!

The tricky word here is **"get"** which has the literal translation in Filipino of *"kunin".* 

However, this word has the connotation of *taking away* something. So on my second pass, I chose a more gentler word - *"hingin"*. It's translation to English is *"ask."*

#### 2.2. "Feed" -> "Sagap"

<div class="pull-left">

</div>

The image on the left is the translation for the word **"Feed".** 

I had difficulty in finding a translation for this as there was no immediate Filipino equivalent that came to mind.

</div>

The literal translation in Filipino of this is *"pakainin"* which is not what I want because it basically means *feeding someone with food*. 

After a few days, the word **"sagap"** came to mind which has a warmer feeling to it. It has the connotation of a *stream* or *consistent input or feed*. Which prompted me to use it.

The image on the right is where you can see the translation in action.

### 3. Proof of payment

And here's the proof from [steemd](https://steemd.com/tx/a504976b3ffd2c161ebfccd44718636c33565cce) that it was acknowledged by busy.org  *(in the image,  @busy.pay was the account they used to pay for my services)*.
