Not sure how well this will work out in the end, but I'd like to open up a YWS Spanish site. Mostly, I want to do it just for kicks, but I also want to expand YWS to other areas. At the moment, 99% of YWS users all come from countries that were at one point or another a part of the British Empire.
Unfortunately, I only took spanish for one year back in second grade. My knowledge of Spanish comes mostly from Cheech and Chong movies, and airport terminals.
So, here's the project:
YWS consists of roughly ten language files. Of these, one (admin lang file) does not need to be touched. Of the others, only one is of any issue. And for that one, most of it can probably be done very quickly if I can find a Spanish phpBB language file.
But, there still remains a lot of stuff to be translated. Now mind you, I'm only talking about stuff like the "Submit" button, or instructions on the site. I am not, repeat NOT, talking about translating posts! Instead, I'd just create a new section for posting stories & poems in Spanish.
So if you're fluent in Spanish and willing to help out, just say so here. Everything will be placed online for easy editing (I'll probably use Writely), and you just do what you can do at your own pace. This is a big project, so I don't even expect to finish it for a few months at the earliest. And indeed, it may even remain a project forever and never be finished. But it'd be something fun to work on.
By the way, even if you're not fluent in Spanish and know just some, you can still help out. Most of the phrases are stuff like "Notify me when a reply is posted," or "Community." Indeed, I could probably run half of it through babelfish and it'd be correct.
