Me again.

Italian page says January 2008 update. Some of the texts are different from the text in the template (August 2007 update). I just wanted to know which version was the good one.

(some differences include missing text, and the list for "How it Works" missing 2 steps.)

Hi Jc,

The text in the English template (what is on the website's homepage at present) is the one to go for.

Okie, thanks!

Oh, and which are the pages that are currently very active? (I'll save them for the end)

Hello, Jc.

At present, I don't think any page is very active.

Hi,

I don't know if the Japanese version is underway, but I am available to convert the pages into Japanese language. Please let me know what I need to do for it. I would like to start right away.

Sandy

Hi Sandy,

Thanks a lot for your offer.

KataGatar has actually already taken care of the Japanese version which is here: http://librivox.org/list-translated-pages-japanese/ .

Cheers,

Been doing a bit of work on the Spanish translation. The Frontpage and Public Domain sections are complete.

I don't know if you're still looking, but I could do a bit of Spanish translating. I don't know how much time I can commit, but I'll do my best. Let me know.

Great, Karen. I'll put them online when I can (hopefully pretty soon).

Hi macandal,

Well, I guess you could see who does what with Karen, so that you don't translate the same thing at the same time.

At this time I only translate sporadically, as I don't have that much spare time, so have at it on the sections of the page that say "TRANSLATE HERE"

And I always welcome a proof-reader on what I've already translated, since I left Mexico before getting into computers, so I never know if I've got the correct terminology.

Okay. This may seem like a dumb question. How do you do it? I mean, how do you enter the text? I imagine that you have to register or something, as this section is separate from the LV site proper, but how do you register? I tried finding a button that says "register" but couldn't find one. Please help. Thanks.

To prevent spam, the wiki is currently locked down against new outside registrations. Just drop Jc a PM requesting a wiki account and she'll set one up for you with your username from here and a temporary password. (the instructions for this are also on the main wiki page, but as I linked you directly to the Spanish translation page, you wouldn't have seen them )

Yes, thanks. I figured it out eventually and sent her an email. I'm waiting for her response so I can get down to it. Thank you.

Question: what if I disagree with the way something has been translated or I have a better way to say something? How is this dealt with around here? Gypsygirl or anyone else who can chime in would be really appreciated. Thanks.

As I implied earlier, it's been years since I lived in Mexico, and sometimes my phraseology gets a little warped, so if it's something like that, go ahead and make the change. On the other hand, we're not necessarily going for a particular country's Spanish (don't have to pull out the Diccionario de la Real Academia, for example), so if it's a question of Iberian vs. Latinamerican Spanish, or Mexican vs. South American, I wouldn't worry about it.
