NationStates Jolt Archive

Ok guys. I know that we have a great volunteer spirit in the NS tech forum (as evidenced by the numerous [and usually correct] responses so that I don't need to deal with each one), so I'm calling for players to volunteer to be called on when the mods have language problems. Though we probably speak a half-dozen languages between us, that's nowheres near enough.

So, this is what I'd like you to do. If you can speak English (acceptably) and other languages, and are willing to volunteer some time, please reply to this message in the following format:

Name: Language (Skill), Language (Skill) . . .

For example:SalusaSecondus: Spanish (sub-conversational, but not bad)

Thank you all.

Crimson Blades: German (Fluent) English (Fluent)

Will we be able to sign up down the line?

If say, we are in the process of learning a language?

It's times like this when I'm really mad that I was not allowed to take a language in middle school or ninth grade. :evil:

I don't know what will become of this. At the moment, I'm playing this entirely by ear.

Russian (Advanced...not quite perfect...but almost. I vacation at my cousin's house in St. Petersburg...and my last name is really Nemerov...so...)

Latin (You don't really speak it...but I took it in school)

okay well, If your ever in need of an English to German or German to English Translator, Im pretty much always on.

Myoptica: french (reasonably fluent in quebec dialect also)

Scolopendra: Spanish (sub-conversational, decent at formal reading/writing)

Loop,
Japanese, Very novice, but I have a pretty good refernce library. Useing me as a last resort would probably be best.

1337. good enough to follow a conversation in it. and reply.

Loopese, wlel I tpye in it edvreyay, all you need to konw is wehre to put the cmoams,

Pig German I speak it rather well expecially since it is a spoken only language, (you just yell German sounding stuff at the top of your lungs at people)


*edited since 1337 is an alegedly real language now*

Perhaps we should make a list. And what would these "translators" be used for?

I'd probably be available for most things

Loop, Japanese, Very novice, but I have a pretty good refernce library. Useing me as a last resort would probably be best.
I don't think I've ever seen japanese on here except that one time I stuck something in a translator. (これのように!)

On topic (mostly for legitimacy ... don't make me translate anything :cry:):

I know a verrry little spanish and I plan to learn japanese in the not-to-distant future.

And what would these "translators" be used for?

I'd probably be available for most things
I infer, when you consider that it was right after Salusa and Agriento had a conversation in Italian with a player who can not speak English very well that it would be for helping out players who do not have an excellent grasp of English.

Maybe I should learn AOLese. . . :twisted:

I'm suprised that there are no Dutch translatrs yet.

The Basenji- 1337 (Translation and convorsation), and AOLese/N00bese (Translation and Convorsation)

:P :lol:

oh yeah...I can do Al Bhed too :lol:

I know a verrry little spanish and I plan to learn japanese in the not-to-distant future.
Same, except that it is Arabic that I intend to learn afterwards insteadof Japanese, and it does neither of us any good right now.

Guanyu: Spanish (about same level as Salusa most likely), have dictionaries and phrasebooks for many others as well in case of emergency when fluent translator is not available.

Can take stabs at other languages as long as they're not Cyrillic, Oriental or Arabic-script based, but they are only stabs. (amateur linguist who loves languages and has too much time on his hands).

Lapse: Aussie slang(pretty good)

BTW, sounds like a good idea SS but with all due respect, wouldnt it be easier for the people needing a translator to go to an online translator. It would be alot quicker and probably easier for all involved

1337 (fluent), Gunchish (learning/creating), and Quenya (learning).

dutch (my native language) and of course english (although i sometimes can't remember words...)

Frigben: Malay(highly fluent; it's my second language), Mandarin(I know very little, but enough to understand when someone's talking about, um, inappropriate issues for young people, such as private parts).

Catholic Europe: French (near fluent)

World wide allies:

Hebrew / yiddish ( also i have a large knowledge of, yet not fluent)

Doesn't really work well enough for the detailed work. They can tell us if something is innappropriate (usually), but not enough to handle a mod complaint.

basic japanese fluent in german and french

Hmm...

I can do a Greek translation if needed... It's mainly conversational, but I'm good with dictionaries, heh.

I can speak a little Japanese but I can only write a small portion of the katakana, so that might not be much help...

Oh, and I'm reasonably good at French too, but it looks as though you've got enough of them, hehehe.

Υασασ πεδικα. :P

Der Fuhrer Dyszel (Spanish: basic; not my forte, but know what I need to know).

Also, although it does not constitute at a language, it is a very useful skill, for here. I am quite good at decephiring "10 year old posts".

Dutch, for writting. To speak i know more languages, but i'm a bad writter.

I hope no-one is gonna back-stab us. :roll:
Otherwise they will be kicked out of the Nederlandse topic. :evil:

This sounds like a bragging competition.. :shock: Chinese(mandarin) and english (both fluent) if its any use to you..

Argheraal:
Spanish (Mother Language)
English (spoken, written, read, understand, curse :) )
Finnish (Understand it good, so so written and quite good to read it)

I'm still at the komencanto (beginner) stage, but with the help of a dictionary I can make myself understood in writing (and yes, it is the official language of Artoonia).

Commonwealth of Ritsa. Spanish (sub-conversational but capable)

german: i'm a native speaker

english: good, i hope; i wouldn't be here, i assume *g*

french: talking could be better, but reading is okay, but here are better speakers

esperanto: reading is fine, understanding is good, but talking lasts a while, but i can drive my message home (yes, dictionary helps *g*))

hm, i can read and use the old fuþark but i cannot speak old norse, okay you must not talk old norse to use it ;)

I own the Scandinavian Union so ask for my email if you are interested.

Enn: Classical Greek (Intermediate level)

That's if you reallywant, and need, someone to translate into Classical Greek.

If any of you who can speak common, living, European languages could drop me a line about a possible translation task, that would be great.

Plz choose me as i am on NationStates heaps!
Brydie

Sitanel: Japanese (not much, just questions like "how are you? etc. I also understand 56 kanji characters which sounds alot, but there are over 2000 kanji in use)

Free Outer Eugenia: Russian (fluent, but with a small catch: I'm very much out of practice reading cyrilic characters)

I also speak 1337 and Jive, but that is neither here nor there :oops:

Although this isn't a medium that provides perfect fluency, AltaVista's Babel Fish Translators @ http://world.altavista.com/ is helpful in translating across several languages. I have used it on more than one occasion with success. While translations may lack some sophistication, they can be understood.

On a not eto my previous post, I've given up on dutch for the time being. I know a few dutch people and they've been telling me how good everyone's English and German over there is, I might take it up again when and if I have the time.

I'll volunteer.
