Phoenix Network Forums

For alot of languages there are automated translaters which aren't perfect so we ask users who actually speak the language to do it however, if we put the translation through the translator then you would expect that it would come up close to the text we're looking for

Yes, ofcourse, I agree with tim. You can use automatic translators to see if there is a point of translation. You can get this with the translator, but to translate the whole page with translator will loose any meaning. So we are here to help, and web translators are here to help admins to verify our translations

Good thing. =)

I can do in Lithuanian language :-) But i think it's to rare in whole world.

Also I think, we've already made clear that international forums wouldn't make much sense. The IRC channel is also English and splitting it up into multiple languages wouldn't make much sense either.

there are so many ppl who dont kno english in some countries (
so i think many of russian-speaking lads will be glad to read it in their native language ).

which pages precisely are to be translated?

---------------
Simple, just lookup a few sites for translation. you can also gather around a few users who speak the same laguage and tell them to verify.

I guess i can do a few translations for ya. No prob. why dont you post a list of languages you anticipate to be translated and whoever wants to translate can translate fr you. you can also do it like google did. They listed the sentences or paragraphs they wanted to be translated and people translated it, one by one and then a few people verified it. problem solved :)

i'm starting to translate them into german, i think there are enough people there do verify

is a text file who looks kind of this ok ?
