Now, we're planning to extend our reach to new language areas and we are hoping for your assistance with this plan.

If you mean Scottish Gaelic, sure, even tho the potential userbase is rather limited, but, hey, I said we're open to _all_ translation projects, not just big ones :-)
And really, for all of you who even entertain the though, remember: even the smallest contribution is welcomed -- even if you volunteer to translate just one software description, it'll be a step to right direction.

I have limited Japanese understanding as I have studied it for a year and just been picking new words up here and there. I am still keeping with with learning this language. I can read and write all of the Hiragana and Katakana characters and a handful of Kanji characters. Don't know how much it will help though.

Hi, I'm 13 and I live in Canada, I'm in group 1 in French (out of three groups) and in group 1 in English (out of two groups) in my school. French is my first language and I speak French to my friends and at home, English my second and Hebrew is my third. I can translate your website or anything in French. I would gladly do it.

And ability to use Google Translate can't be considered as "fluent language skill" either..
I think that was pretty clear...
Dude, online translation sucks and is innacurate.

No need to say sorry, it's just that the answer to the exact same thing you asked is in the text..it's kind of dumb to ask a question that is answered right above you.
Anyways, Mr. dRD, whenever AfterDawn starts the French website, count me in, I have time to spare, especially on weekends.

It's a small world after all!
By the way, I don't speak like "Quebecois" people, with the "asti" and "tabarnak" expressions. I have a more French (France) accent.

I have some understanding of Japanese, I have been studying it for 3 years, 2yrs in highschool and 1yr in College. I can read and write all hiragana and katakana, I can read and write basic kanji. I do Japanese tours on College campus, so I can somewhat speak it to an understandable extent. Hope that can help.

I can help translate Mandarin Chinese for you. I was born in Taiwan, moved to US since 1996, but I"m still quite fluent with Mandarin. I'm still improving my speed on my keyboard. I can start doing small projects since I'm still in school. Just let me know. Thank You.

Whoa, pretty unbelievable response so far -- we've received tons of emails since posting this request for help. Thank you guys (and gals) and keep sending us feedback if you have the fluency and will to participate to this project -- more people we have for each translation project, the faster we should get the new language versions online and less work there is for each participant to do.
So, if you want to volunteer, use the feedback form:
http://www.afterdawn.com/general/feedback.cfm
We'll contact each one of you during next 7 days and see how quickly we can get the ball rolling. We have already an online system in place for translating software descriptions, so that's probably the most logical step to begin with.

I teach English at a university in South Korea. My Korean is certainly not good enough to translate, but I might be able to find some students interested in translating the articles. How much workload is involved?
Thanks.
