I need someone to take control of the translating of the website.

What your responsibility will be:
I will have translators sending language translations to languages@dominating12.com . You must check this email at least once daily for new translations and update http://www.languages.dominating12.com/ when necessary. If you know even a little about uploading or html it will be enough, I can quickly teach you the rest of what you need to do.

I am bogged down with a regular job and programming the site, I don't have time to organize the translations. I will update the page with more things for the translators to translate though as time goes on, you just make sure the translators can translate things and that you upload their translations so they can see that their hard work is being updated.

When the site is finished and I have put up all of the page translations and they have all been translated in whatever language, then I will add that language to the site.

Any volunteers?

Only other languages I know are HTML and Java. I can help with putting the languages up if you want, though.



Well, of course I'm mad. It makes things a great deal more interesting.

Lol, you won't be a translator. You will just be organizing the translations when the translators email them. You only need to know English and knowledge of HTML will be helpful.

Ok. If I can help, then just send me what you need. Do you need my email address?

Ok, let me try to explain this better lol.

I need someone to Manage the translations. You will do no translating yourself. I will give you an email: languages@dominating12.com . You will use this email to keep in contact with translators and then get them to translate the site.

The translators will send you their translations via the email and you will put it on a temporary site: http://www.languages.dominating12.com until the entire site is translated into a language, then I will add that language to the site when I have time.

I will teach you how to use the temp site and give you access to the ftp and access to the email account.

This volunteer job will most likely be permanent, and will result in permanent premium. The site will constantly have need for things to be translated, and when that happens we will need this person to organize the translators to get the stuff translated.

So overall, you make sure people from every country can understand how to play on our site.

How to find people to translate?
Surprisingly enough, there are tons of people on the web who will openly translate things for free, especially games. They take pride in having helped out. You can find these people by searching chat rooms or meeting people from other countries on different forums and asking them nicely as a friend if they wouldn't mind translating for you. It's best to find a couple of people from each language, this way you can double check each others work.

This volunteer job I suppose can start with just 1 opening, and perhaps later I will have 2-5 language managers. We will stick with languages that read left to right until I have enough extra time on my hands to flip the site right to left, maybe years later...
