    This is a note to all of our users who speak either Spanish, French, Swedish or German (you can also suggest other languages, in case you're interested..) natively, but have also good/excellent English skills.

    We're playing with an idea to expand our reach to non-English speaking countries in future and are looking for people who think they could contribute to this project by helping us to translate our site to other languages and to provide daily news and software update coverage in your own language.

    In case you're interested to chat about this, send me a private message.

    I can speak French enough to get around in the country...I don't know all of the technical terms, as so many new ones appear everyday. Anything that wouldn't be considered "jargon" in English would be fine.

    I'm a native Portuguese speaker and have a degree in translation. If you ever need anything Translated into or from Portuguese into English, most definetly let me know, I'd be pleased to help. I don't have that much experience translating professionaly having only done a few assignments professionaly but the feedback I got from clients was always very good so I'm sure I could be of service!

    Mate relax you realize that Afterdawn is not a American website. It is based in Finland, which is part of Europe and Europe has different languages within it.

    Thank you for the interest -- and more "metoos" are welcomed as well :) We're going ahead with the project in near future. I expect we will contact couple of people later this month to touch the base a bit how we should work the project out. Basically the first step would be to establish 2 or 3 people for each language section we plan to expand into, call it a "team" and then assign the initial translation tasks for the team to complete and discuss how each member would like to participate to the project.

    As said, this is still a vague idea, but as we've run a bilingual site for over seven years now, technically we have the ability to expand into new language areas quite rapidly.

    What an excellent idea! Have a site that covers the major countries of the European Union, from Germany/Spain/Portual/France to the Balkans. Too bad I never learned my father's Eastern European language, I'm just another dumb American anyway ;) Good luck with things, your success with the site will only grow.
