Chinese Translation Site

Summary:

Thinking about it.

Chinese Translation Site

Agent E 26 Nov 2014 23:50

I am recently thinking of maybe starting a Chinese translation branch for this. Consider this a resume Chinese is my first language and I lived in China for about ten years. I feel like that the site could get more reception and attention if it is in another language additionally to Spanish. I also am interested in the translation work.

The problem is that I am not good at Wikidot syntax stuff, so the maintenance and creation of a translation site might be a little rough for me. But first, may I have the permission to create such site?

Really, I'm overjoyed at this. First, the Spanish translators (Chumagen, Yerko, Saiko, Alguerath, and the rest of the team, you have my thanks, guys), and now we have a Chinese one. I'm actually surprised you're a Chinese-speaker, E. And this came as a welcome surprise.

As an admin, I'm voting in favor of inducting you officially. Just let me know if you have trouble with syntax, layout, page adapting and heavy lifting. Also, please get the members' page, recent changes, and posts pages up and running as soon as possible so I can get a view of things.

This is really cool. However, I would like to point out that the site would most likely be dead for a long time, since most people don't know Chinese.

Not sure about reading and writing, but at least 14% of the world's population speak Chinese as a first language, which puts it in first place.

Considering that this is almost a dead site and you're only person that's active here that speaks Chinese from what I know of, the site would be dead for a long time. Basically, I meant people active on this site, not worldwide. And you can't build an active site with just one or two people if you want it to actually go somewhere.
E: question, what dialect of Chinese is this? Because most of the dialects are different enough so that people can't speak one just because they spoke another.

Written Chinese has no dialect, in other words written Chinese can be read and written the same, but when spoken out loud the words will sound different for each dialect. There are the Simplified and Traditional Chinese forms, and my site uses Simplified, but the difference is not too big and a lot more people use Simplified Chinese.

Go ahead Agent E, get a team, because this site has more than 150 articles ready for translation.

I wish you all the best Agent E.
