German/American English - There are a lot of Germans who speak the correct Oxford English, (Which drives me nutts.); and a lot of Germans automatically ASSUME that i am from England because of my Last name. I have never been to England, I do not worship any Queen...ha! The German translations of Movies, (Particularly' the American SLANG), Funny stuff...almost Priceless... ;°) As a last resort, happy to help, if need be.... Off topic, av question... who IS that in your av, @stevenssimsstuff ? Made me think of Ren and Stimpy... am I close? I'll be around, fascinating topic on its own, *and* I had the idea that this would be a good "hey there" spot for me to gauge who might be interested in doing MC translations, too. Using PMs for my thing, I won't clutter this thread with that. But of course, for an av question... I will derail it for a minute. LOL! °Actually, that is - "KC and The Sunshine Band" No, It's Ren and Stimpy...ha! KC and The Sunshine Band popped into my' HEAD Today @ work...earlier....i was like, "Get Out of my HEAD!!!". Ahhhhhhh! Then i started singing along... ;°P

Yes or course J Mzungu , otherwise I wouldn't comment on your topic Just wanted to make sure, you know, lol. Thanks Bakie, I'll add you to the top. I took a decent amount of French while in college so I could probably do some basic translating if someone needs it. I'm by no means an expert so if someone else comes along that feels comfortable it'd probably be in everyone's best interest to ask that person first! Awesome Spira, thank you so much. I'll add you to the top post.

I volunteer for English/Spanish if needed! I am fully bilingual, I speak and write in Castilian (European) Spanish and British English - but of course American English and Latin American Spanish is also perfectly fine for me too. Bonus points: not that it's in demand, but you can also throw Jamaican Patois my way (though I'm not really fluent it makes me so happy I'll work three times as hard!) Let me know if I can help! ¡Háganme saber si puedo ayudar en algo!

I wish I spoke that. I speak enough "retail Spanish" to get by at work, but that's about it. Greetings, "is that all?" "bag?" etc. Very basic stuff. Love to know more, there are a LOT of Hispanics here. Related subject, I'm guessing these are mostly document-centered translations being discussed? I wanted to mention that if anybody is doing any STBL-based translating (mods etc), Deaderpool (of MC Command Center fame) put a program up (STBL Editor) at MTS to help with that. www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=564576Just one for the toolbox, sharing in case it's something anybody might find useful. (Comments thread is over my head for real.)

We really needed some spanish, so thanks to you we finally got the three major languages in Europe on the list, awesome! And I love that you know Jamaican Patois! And even if it might not be in demand right now, It might be one day and then we will be happy that you're on the list!

This sounds like a great idea No Asian languages yet? I can read/write Japanese and Korean. My internet time is a little limited at the moment (with it being the holiday season and all), but I'd love to volunteer if any help is needed.

This thread is a wonderful idea J Mzungu ! Everyone, I was wondering how members could help each other typing in languages other than English, epecially ones with double-byte characters, e.g. Asian. Perhaps Proboards already supports this, can be made to, or we could add an associated forum/messaging system pm that supports multi-lingual messaging? Perhaps our multilingual members have already solved this, here or elsewhere? (I would gladly volunteer to translate but I only know English )

Since I was the first one to volunteer for Asian languages, I felt sort of obliged to reply to this post... then I realized that I don't really understand what you mean by helping people type double-byte characters. (And I'm not familiar with Proboards either.) I just use Windows language packs. + Just a thought on the Volunteer List, wouldn't it be better (and look cooler ) if the language names were in their own languages as well? (I think they're Nederlands, Français, Deutsch, 日本語, 한국어, Español and Svenska... not sure about Jamaican Patois. Is it just "Patois"?)

(I think they're Nederlands, Français, Deutsch, 日本語, 한국어, Español and Svenska... not sure about Jamaican Patois. Is it just "Patois"?) Hi courtesy , you inadvertently answered my questions! The text you wrote in parenthesis above is in the languages I was talking about. From a technical perspective the Asian languages that use glyphs typically need two bytes (double-byte) to have enough room to cover the whole character set including the Asian characters, and your reply proves that Proboards (which is what this site uses) supports this! Yay!!! If I understand your solution correctly, you simply post here to the boards using Windows language packs to get the desired "alphabet" for the language you want to write in. Also, J Mzungu , I like courtesy 's idea. Maybe the English and native name of the language can both be shown?, i.e: (Dutch) Nederlands - Bakie (French) Français - fuyaya , Spirashun (German) Deutsch - @stevenssimsstuff (Chinese) 中文 - ??(Japanese [Kanji]) 日本語 - courtesy (Korean) 한국어 - courtesy (Spanish) Español - believe&become (Jamaican Patois) ? - believe&become (Swedish) Svenska - J Mzungu

courtesy that was a great idea and thank you for volunteering for the Asian languages! Korean and Japanese are definitely useful, in my case I know a few custom content creators that use that language and it is sometimes difficult to find/understand their TOU or reblog their stuff correctly. fufu508 thank you for the update! Español is correct, though perhaps you could put Español(Castellano). It's not a big difference, really, just specifying what dialect of Spanish, as Latin Spanish can differ a little, although we all understand each other well. Also, some Spanish nationalists would insist that Spain has four national languages (and what is internationally/generally considered Spanish is indeed what I speak - Castellano or Castilian, spoken all over Spain, but still, the other languages do exist and have millions of speakers). As for Jamaican Patois, it would probably be best to not mention it, I am nowhere near being fluent in it, I do read and listen to it but since it's a dialect of English, anyone who speaks Patois (also called Patwah) would revert to British English or Jamaican English by default for general purposes, it's not like they "need" translation, I just happen to be a big supporter of relatively little known dialects and languages. If you really want to keep it, maybe put Patois/Patwa. May I just say it's really cool to belong to such a helpful international community!
