The Carpentries build global capacity in essential data and computational skills for conducting open research. Last year, supported by an Event Fund grant, the Carpentries hosted their first virtual CarpentryConnect from South Africa. The event included 2 Carpentries workshops, a Carpentries instructor training event, 2 networking events, a learning session and an opening address. The team is proud to announce that the closed captions of the opening and closing keynotes are now available in both isiZulu and isiXhosa! Translations into these African languages represents an important step towards continuing to foster an active, inclusive, diverse community of learners and instructors that better reflects the world's diversity of languages.
