Re: internationalizing the site: NEED TRANSLATORS

Hannah,
This thread was looking for help to translate material on our Wiki and on the Librivox.org website. I don't know of any current needs in those areas, but we would still love to put your language skills to use!
We read material in the language in which it was published - so if someone is going to read a book in Russian, then they need to find a Russian language version that's in the Public Domain in the US (which generally means published before 1923). We don't use self published material, or create our own translations. You are welcome to read materials previously published in the Public Domain in any of the languages which you speak.
We would also love to have you help out proof listening in any of those languages (as part of our recording process, everything that is read goes through a "first listen" before we put it in the LV catalog). You can identify projects which have an opening for a proof listener in two ways: check for the tilde ~ in the thread title, or check to see what is listed on the Listeners Wanted forum.
