Looking for translators

I would love to publish WeblogToolsCollection in languages other than English. I know that I can install translator plugins and other software but machine translation leaves a lot to be desired, is slow and load intensive, readers miss out on the discussions and it is just less fulfilling as a read.

Since there has been some interest in French and Spanish language translations, I am seeking a couple of authors who are willing to do the following:

  • Translate all (new) posts from weblogtoolscollection.com into their respective language and make a daily commitment to posting changes and updates
  • Moderate and answer comments
  • Post any new material you find relevant to blogging in general and WordPress in particular
  • Co-operate, share ideas and news with other authors
  • Be user centric
  • Fluent in French or Spanish. English language proficiency required.

This is an experiment/brainstorm/brainfart and I am not sure whether there is even an audience. Remuneration will be involved. Please drop me a note if you are truly interested and mention any relevant links. If you are willing to translate in another language not mentioned above and believe there is an audience, I would love to hear from you as well.

    lol – in my mind i`m not lazy 🙂 it`s just a nickname, short, easy to write and remember =) hm.. perfect for lazy boys.. but i think, i can do it, enough time and a wordpress fan 🙂

  12. Eric says:

    I’d like to translate it into Spanish as well.. But I imagine you found somebody already! Let me know otherwise.

  13. I can lend a hand for italian translations, if needed.
    I can’t tell you if there’s an audience, English is so widespread used in the blogosphere that many other languages (italian, in particular) are just niches. There are niches, not audiences… 😉

    Why not contact the American Translators Association? You can search their translator directory on the Web site by language combination and direction to find the appropriate person. URL is: http://www.atanet.org
