Hello!
My name is Willy Fuentes, I'm Spanish and although I am not an app developer I think I can contribute much to this developers community.
I am a translator, I worked in my country translating articles, documents etc and now help developers to translate their apps to Spanish so they can reach as many users as possible.:highfive:
I like my translations to be as perfect as possible, because Spanish is a difficult language and if you're not perfectionist translations just "sound weird".
if you're looking for someone to help you translate your apps into Spanish, for a good price I'm your man!
Please Any questions you have, just ask I'll be glad to answer you !

i think u should post this up in the Q&As
Official forum language is English. Though we respect users of other languages, the moderators and admin have agreed that no other languages should be used without translation.
If the moderators dont speak spanish, then how can they moderate your comments?
I remember a thread where someone posted a very abusive and 'colourful' rant in another language. It was quite funny when fed through a translator.

While I agree that it is just friendly to give a brief translation in English (it does not make sense to translate every single word),please think of this: A user who does not speak German will not have any use for a German ROM, so why invest too much time for translating all the posts, if anyone Non-German (-Austrian/Swiss/Luxemburg ...) is not interested in that posts?
jez83uk is right, a translation without knowledge of the language it is translated from does not really make sense.
And BTW: Why do you ask for an English version of ROMs in other languages, instead of using one of the English ROMs?
There was an Hispanic post in the Raphael thread where the OP asked if someone in the forum could translate his text as he felt that online translators would lose the "meaning" of his post/request. A member took the time to translate his post/request; one of his concerns was regarding Bluetooth operation with some applications - which after reading the translation, I provided some assistance with.
I wish I had the ability to quickly learn every language out there; but since I cannot, it was helpful in that particular situation to see an English translation. I agree that online translators aren't capable of providing a correct translation of meaning and content.
IMHO, even a simple line "Could Someone Please Help Translate ..." before the native language text could be sufficient so that someone can summarise the OP request/post in English.
Cheers,

Very well written. Thanks!
I'm not the big coder for PDA/Smartphone, so I was wondering how I else could contribute to this great site.
I found out that we do not have any people dedicated to translate our software into other languages and thereby secure that XDA will reach the great masses.
I therefore search for people that want to help translating to their own language, not just one person pr language as the more the better.
And I also want to hear from developers about what kind of syntax they use for their language files, maybe we should make a common template to how these are made. This is because I am about to make a program that can display these files in a way so they are very easy to edit and review.
Future features i am thinking of implementing is:
OpenOffice Dictionary support
Google Translate support
The idea is that developers submit their file to my site and it is then imported into an online database that the program extract from.
When people have edited a file it is then submitted but not completed until someone else have reviewed it, simply to wipe out any simple grammar or spelling mistakes.
Feedback please...

I think it unnecessary.
Now,many online translation in internet,we don't need language translate service for xda-developers......
I'm a Chinese.Between Chinese and Latin,I think it have much different....
We can use online translation to browse the xda.
But I really hope xda support more language.
For example,Chinese in xda-developers is messy code.
I don't know what time can be solved......

I think you misunderstood it, it is for the applications that are made by this great forum and not the forum itself.
This way f.ex. the maker SleepSense could just send his english language file and then the community would translate it to each of their own language, and thereby helping that XDA Market apps will have an edge over other, by supporting a lot of languages which others dont.

For XDA Market?
hi,
my name is Sydney and I am currently a student studying Russian Language at UCLA and I am posting here because I am looking for something to do and some work. If anyone out there is developing an app or has one that they would like to make more international, particular to Russian speakers, I would be happy to talk to you and see if we can work something about with me translating your app into Russian.
Feel free to message me with any questions or ideas.
Thanks a lot
Hi everyone!
Sorry if I ask this in the wrong part of the forum, but I want to help the Android-community to translate from English to Swedish and perhaps vice versa, and I wonder, is there somewhere there I can sign up so developers know that I can help with the translation into Swedish?
Cause I have helped someones with the translations, but then i have to write mails and ask, and I want developers to be aware of this so I don't need to ask around in mails since I see it as fun to help out with translating during my free time
Thanks in advance, best regards, RazaBlada
Note: I'm not that good with the English grammar so that's why I want to help out with translating into Swedish but not from Swedish to English, and if you are a developer and want me to help you translate your app into Swedish as well, then just send an mail to my E-mail pontusevnert [at] gmail.com with the document that you want me to translate.
Hello, That's possibly the wrong place to ask, but anyway..
French is my primary language, and i often see bad translations on the PlayStore. So i was wondering if i could help - In any way - some developers here, or such.
It would be a pleasure to translate texts for you if necessary, just tell me where and how to start.
