Headup: How we will translate Translia

Technically Translia is globalization ready and can be translate into multiple languages. We chose Simplified Chinese as pilot language and a Chinese prototype site is available at http://www.translia.com/sc (when you want to come back to English site, just remove 'sc' from the URL).

We would like to take this opportunity to thank members who contributed the Chinese translation:

  • fionna
  • Joyo
  • bluesky
  • myesearch
  • wcrane
  • Elly.Liu

We haven't rolled out translation projects for other languages because the site is still under heavy construction and the webpages for client side are not finalized yet. Here I just want to give a head-up to translators who might be join the projects.

There will be projects of two categories.

  • Firstly there are projects with finance support from Acosys. Those projects will cover the languages for the major markets. Participants will be paid for contributions.
  • Secondly there are community projects for free. Those will be the projects proposed and participants by the community members on a voluntary basis.

For each language, we will give priority to different part of the website as below.

  • Client section first and translator second
  • Functional UIs first and Guide pages second

The next language on our plan is German. When German translations are done, we will evaluate the readiness and determine whether to launch translation projects for multiple languages at the same time.

You are welcome to give your proposal on translating Translating into your language.

We chaned the plan a bit
