Hello, I'm a friend of Loki, he told me I could find people to help me here so that's why I'm here.

I need people who speak (or rather write) fluently, or fairly well, at least two of the following languages : English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese (traditional), Korean, Russian, Italian, German.

You will be translating some sentences, for my personal non-official project, still at an experimental stage. If you want to take a look :

And since I'm not a programmer, if you have good computer language knowledge, you could help me out for some other things. Because there are few things I'd like to do but I'm not sure how to do them and I need someone to guide me =)

Thanks.

T.

Thanks ^__^

Yea, just one thing with German, it's the language that has the most translated sentences, because I got my German friend addicted to translating my sentences lol. I don't know why, but she's really into it. So you probably won't have much work. Although you can always check out the correctness of the sentences by reading for fun the few sentences that I have in the database... if you have nothing better to do ^^;

Xlibman, I didn't mean for use on entire scentences, I meant if the people needed help translating a few words that is a nice tool to have.

Oh wow, I didn't expect so many replies...Sorry for responding so late, I was in Germany =P And then when I came back I started working on how to have statitcs about the contributions the translation of my database (which I just finished setting up).

Okay... I'm gonna PM everyone who answered.

In case you didn't notice, my server is pretty slow sometimes. If you notice any bug, let me know.

Just to let you know...alot of the sentences that you have on the site don't have a very literal translation of so if you are trying to use these sentences to try to teach vocabulary, people might get very confused.
