Translating documentation
And translations for the application itself in some cases, so that it can be ran and used in different languages. Human contributions to the language files of the application is what my project needs more than anything else, and if you do speak a non-English language fluently, I’d be very grateful! Here’s how I’ve worded it for my project:
If you would like your language to be supported, please create a new pull request, or a new issue with your language file, using an existing language file as a template.

For a project I liked I saw that the translation of the UI was only about 1% complete for my native language. I decided to dedicate the weekend to get it above 95%. This was apparently the part that seemed too hard for most to make a dent in, but across several new versions my language is still 100%. I think my groundwork made it easier for some sporadic contributors to get a small bit of dopamine when updating the few new strings in a release to see it hit 100% again.

You are the hero your community needed! It makes a huge difference for a lot of people when they can read a screen without having to guess what the English words mean.
