Wouldn't it be cool if there would be an official poll wih "Which country are you from?", and to open new topics in "the dept. of magical cooperation", based on that poll? Do I make any sense?

^ That a good idea, you'd want to leave it open for a while since the sections only new, though.

I'm Irish, so if anyone needs me to translate, feel free to call. Most Irish speakers learn English from Day One though.

Yes! Good idea, but unfortunately not everybody sees those polls.

Still, it could be interesting for you all to see who comes from where.

In our stats (that are open for everybody, btw) it shows how many visitors come from each country, so we have that information already.

According to that, the countries we need languages for (that we don't currently have) are Japanese, Dutch, and Danish.

Moding one of those forums is no simple task, you have to translate LOADS of pages.

But if you are willing and able (and preferrably 16 or older) we can allow it since we are in need of a Dutch forum.

Thanks!

I can help with Portuguese! I'm Portuguese soooo! Need help? Just aske me

Let em warn you harryjames_potter, it is not easy at all. There is a lot of translating. It's great if you want to do it, but there's a lot of work, espicially if you do it on your own.

OOOoo, its a little different than I thought it would be. I thought I just had to maintain that one forum.

I can probaly translate everything. And I can also find some more people to help me, but i'm a little busy right now with other sites. That will take me about 2/3 weeks. But after that i'm totally free(expect school ofcourse).

Could you also give me more information on what I would have to do. Like do you want me to translate the entire site or just the forum. What should the forum contain, should it be something like a information page or will it be something like forum all apart?

There is no rush behind this, just wanted to know what I would have to do, so taht I know how many people i'll need to do it all.

Well, no, you don't have to translate the whole forum. Basically, there are about seven or ten pages that are a guide to SS, like the HELP page and the Board Rules. You've got to translate all of it. Which, as a mod of the French forum, beleive me, isn't easy.

I'm the Mod. of the Italian forum, and if you don't think you're fluent then I wouldn't do it. Aside from translating the Board Rules and Help page (which in itself is a lot) you will still have to read what other people say in the forum and answer questions and such.

I would sudgest (sp?) looking at the Board Rules and such that are Pinned in the Newbie section and see if you think you could handle translating them.

Good Luck!! :sorcerer:

I would love to head a dutch department. But for now I can't devote myself to it, YET.

I just did the SS board rules, and Princess Potter and mohamedg24 are right it isn't easy. Even though I am fluent in both English and Dutch, it is hard to find a suitable word. But i'm just writing useless information now.

If you find anybody else that is willing to translate the pages, please tell me because I maybe able to give him a head start. I will start to translate it but it will go slow. If you haven't found anyone in 2/3 weeks i'll give it a try.

Oooo, and a mod can better lock this thread, because I didn't read the article pointing to a whole thread dedicated to this.

Sincerely,
Harry James Potter

BTW: I'm not 16 yet, (sorry my profile may say differently) but can I still do it if I can give you credentials from other sites, that I mod?

Edit: I finished:

• SS Board Rules
• SnitchSeeker Help
• Introduction(the one by Christhiane)

What should I do with all this?

Do you need the text in HTML form?

What I will do, once I get the translation for the forum description, is set up the forum, and you can enter the pages into new threads in that forum. That way you have full control!
Thanks for doing all the work! I and all of Holland thank you! :sorcerer:

Forum description (please translate to Dutch):

I can help in the
Arabic Language

but the problem is that i don't know if anyone knows this language or ever comes to this site :/

thanks

I'd be glad to help in the Danish thread.... if you'll allow me

hey, i can speak kinda good hindi and a different language many people might not know: bengali. i'm originally from bangladesh, and an immigrant to canada. i can help with bengali (or as bengali people say, bangla) and hindi if you'd like me to.

I can speak on russian and on kazakh,but i don't think that someone will need help in this languages

hay.i just wanted to say i know some hebrew and i can teach this.

Hey! it's great! I am Pakistani and I know Urdu, i'll help! I think a lot of people of this language come here!

Recently I have been getting a number of IMs from members asking me if they can be a language Mod (No idea why they are IMing me, though). To whom should I point them? Christhiane, Dumbledore, Keredwel? Or do we have all the language forums we need?
