Another request for translation help.


========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://antix.mepis.com/index.php/Main_Page"
linktext was:"http://antix.mepis.com/index.php/Main_Page"
====================================
" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false

As you can see the front page of antiX is now available in English, Catalan, Dutch and Greek.
It needs updating in Spanish, German, French and Italian.

1. Any volunteers to update the languages?
2. Any volunteers to add to the languages?

Only the front page needs doing.

Thanks

I suppose you could add a few,"How ya doin', eh?", or"Ya, sure, you betcha!" comments to give it that Scandanavian effect, common at least in some English speaking areas of Ontario. The northwestern Upper Peninsula of Michigan has many Finnish Americans there, and those kinds of expressions are common.

Here in New Hampshire, we have quite a few French Canadians in the area. Every now and then you run into one where English is the SECOND language. They have a rather unique French dialect - understandable, for the most part, by people from France, but there are several local terms known only to the Canadians.

Perhaps your area does not have a lot of either, but I suspect it may have at least a little bit of both.

Reminds me of a time when I was still at Digital. There was a guy who passed me a script that would translate whatever you typed into"Jive". It was very funny, though some of the comments I would consider vulgar, so it is not the kind of thing where I would share specifics.

We are getting too far off topic here but where I live is a huge Dutch farming community but a small city east of here has a large French population.

My in-laws are French but what they speak can be very different from what is spoken in Quebec which is very different from Paris/France.

I saw this quote once and I think it's very true.
England and America, two countries separated by a common language

@anti, @secipolla: just created account. It would be great if one of you could tell me, if you want just the complete current antix page to be translated from english to german or the current german one extended, or whatever you envision, just that there are no misunderstandings from the beginning. thanks.

Just the complete current front page with the 12 April 2010 section added will do.

Thanks
