+The Home Assistant sidebar in 12 different languages.
+</p>
+<p>Whaaaaaats up everyone?! 😁 It’s been another crazy 2 weeks here at the virtual Home Assistant headquarters with a ton of great contributions from all over the world. New features, bug fixes, performance improvements. It’s a lot so let’s jump right in.</p>
+<h2><a class="title-link" name="translations" href="#translations"></a> Translations</h2>
+<p>The first great feature, if you haven’t guessed it yet from the screenshot above: we are now able to translate the UI! Currently the translations are limited to the sidebar menu items. Even without a translation tool available, our contributors have jumped in and submitted translations for these menu items in over twenty languages! Home Assistant will automatically pick an available translation based on your browser settings, or a translation can be manually selected in the configuration panel.</p>
+<p>We’re currently working on an integration with the web based translation tool <a href="https://lokalise.co">lokalise.co</a>, to make the translation process accessible to anyone who would like to contribute. Stay tuned for a blog post with more documentation soon.</p>
+<h2><a class="title-link" name="frontend-improvements" href="#frontend-improvements"></a> Frontend improvements</h2>
+<p>As part of getting translations to work, we did a lot of cleanup work on the frontend side. The re-organization should allow us to iterate faster on the frontend. We’ve already seen a lot of clean up as part of this thanks to @armills and @andrey-git for keep raising the quality!</p>
+<h2><a class="title-link" name="hacktoberfest" href="#hacktoberfest"></a> Hacktoberfest</h2>
+<p><a href="https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/">Hacktoberfest</a> 2017 is over! FINALLY. Each year we’re attracting more developers that want to contribute to Home Assistant. This is great but also very exhausting to our code reviewers. I want to give an enormous gigantic huge big shout out to our reviewers @pvizeli, @andrey-git, @armills, @MartinHjelmare, @fabaff. You have all done an amazing job and we couldn’t run Home Assistant without any of you! ❤</p>
+<p>Hacktoberfest is obviously about the people contributing to open source. Big thanks to everyone that has taken the time to learn our code base and make contributions. We hope it was a pleasant experience and show how great open source can be. Hope to see many contributions in the future 👍</p>
+<p>Here are our Hacktoberfest 2017 stats. It’s a miracle everyone is still alive:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>Main repo: <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q=merged%3A%3E2017-10-01%20is%3Apr%20label%3AHacktoberfest%20is%3Aclosed%20">273 Pull requests</a> were merged out of 307.</li>
+  <li>Docs repo: <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.github.io/pulls?page=1&amp;q=merged%3A%3E2017-10-01+is%3Apr+label%3AHacktoberfest+is%3Aclosed&amp;utf8=%E2%9C%93">295 Pull requests</a> merged out of 310.</li>
+  <li>Frontend: <a href="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-polymer/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q=merged%3A%3E2017-10-01%20is%3Apr%20label%3AHacktoberfest%20is%3Aclosed%20">57 pull requests</a> merged.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>This means that we processed over 20 Pull requests per day. The result was already visible in 0.56. This release is almost the same. In those releases we were able to add over 40 new integrations.</p>
+<h2><a class="title-link" name="ikea-trdfri" href="#ikea-trdfri"></a> IKEA TRÅDFRI</h2>
+<p>Good news and bad news on this front. The bad news is that IKEA changed the internal API for TRÅDFRI with a firmware update, breaking the Home Assistant integration. The good news is that they were nice enough to <a href="https://twitter.com/home_assistant/status/925373865802502144">email us with instructions on the breaking changes</a>.</p>
+<p>Long time contributor <a href="https://github.com/lwis">@lwis</a> jumped on the case and managed to migrate our integration in Home Assistant in time for this release. Great work!</p>

+<h2><a class="title-link" name="timer" href="#timer"></a> Timer</h2>
+<p>Okay, one more highlight before we’ll let you check out the changelog. Contributor <a href="https://github.com/danielperna84">@danielperna84</a> (famous for creating the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/addons/configurator/">HASS Configurator</a>), had another great component up his sleeve: the Timer component. With the timer component you’ll be able to start countdown timers. A neat tool for your automation toolbox! More info in the <a href="https://home-assistant.io/components/timer/">timer docs</a>.</p>

-    <p>For the second year in a row, Home Assistant will be participating in <a href="https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/">Hacktoberfest</a>. Hacktoberfest is an event organized by DigitalOcean and GitHub to support and celebrate open source. The idea is that open source projects like Home Assistant will gather a bunch of entry-level bugs, features, and documentation enhancements and that you, a current or future contributor, will help us fix them. If you submit four pull-requests during October, you will have earned yourself a limited edition Hacktoberfest T-shirt!</p>
