A participatory process is a sequence of participatory activities (e.g. first filling out a survey, then making proposals, discussing them in face-to-face or virtual meetings, and finally prioritizing them) with the aim of defining and making a decision on a specific topic.
Examples of participatory processes are: a process of electing committee members (where candidatures are first presented, then debated and finally a candidacy is chosen), participatory budgets (where proposals are made, valued economically and voted on with the money available), a strategic planning process, the collaborative drafting of a regulation or norm, the design of an urban space or the production of a public policy plan.

Ready? Now you can start translating! Take in mind that as Decidim evolves, it is always necessary to improve and update the translations when a new version of the platform is released.
💁♀️ Some things to take into account:
We speak of Participants instead of Users whenever possible. Check the Glossary before you start.
In Spanish and Catalan we follow gender neutrality.
We always translate from English. Changes to the English language must be made on GitHub directly.
