Reddit is hiring a Dutch-speaking community manager to recruit local moderators and run "a conversion funnel" that turns power users and creators into moderators. But every page a Dutch power user would land on is in another language: Reddit for Community, the moderator site, exists in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese, and /nl-nl/ returns a 404; its International menu lists mod hubs for Brazil, Germany, India, the UK and France, none for the Netherlands; and the 31 Dutch pages on redditinc.com are all legal terms. The new hire starts with a funnel that has no top.

Why it works
Before the community manager starts outreach, publish a Dutch edition of the five pages a new moderator needs (What is a Reddit mod, Start a community, the new-mod checklist, the five-week getting-started course and the mod recruitment guide), add nl-nl to the language switcher and hreflang, list a Dutch moderator hub in the International menu, and give every outreach message a tracked link to it. Then measure the funnel the role is hired to build: visits, sign-ups to the course, first community created or mod invite accepted.
Power users decide in their own language, and Reddit's international audience is growing far faster than its logged-in base (77.1 million international daily uniques, +28%, but only 29.5 million logged in, +12%). Moderators are what turn logged-out readers into local communities, and the translation pattern already exists for five other languages.

Risks and how to handle them
Literal translation reads as corporate
Have the Dutch community manager rewrite, not just review.
Too few Dutch power users to reach
Start with Dutch-language communities that already exist and lack moderators.
