I would like to help, count me in for English and French into Romanian.

Dear all,
First off: thanks a million for all your offerings! I get the impression that we could actually pull this thing off!
So far, we have language pairs from English into many languages. What we will probably need most is language pairs that fit the languages of the kids out there. For example Russian, Spanish, Romanian, Chinese or Albanian into English, German, French or whatever.

First off: thanks a million for all your offerings! I get the impression that we could actually pull this thing off!
So far, we have language pairs from English into many languages. What we will probably need most is language pairs that fit the languages of the kids out there. For example Russian, Spanish, Romanian, Chinese or Albanian into English, German, French or whatever.
If this turns out not to be possible, we will have to translate the texts first into English and then into the respective languages the book is going to be published. Not ideal, I know, but it could work.
I'm going to keep track of the language pair offerings in an excel spread sheet.
Meanwhile, I invite you to share your thoughts on this project. Any questions, comments, and ideas on how to approach this are welcome. Maybe some of you have contacts to or experience with aid agencies or publishing houses.
Keep the good ideas coming! ▲ Collapse

Dear Marion!
If you also need HUNGARIAN translation let me be your translator!
When the book is ready I'll try to contact with Hungarian child book publishers if needed.

Hi Marion,
falls Du noch jemanden für Englisch-Deutsch brauchst - mail mich einfach an.
Fantastische Idee übrigens!
| | | | | I would like to offer my assistance | Dec 8, 2004 |
Though I have no actual book publication experience, I have created several 50-page guides, brochures, playbills and what not thathave been given out for free.
If you would like some assistance putting this kind of thing together, collecting translations, checking/correcting English, writing a foreward, etc.
Please let me know what I could do to help, I love opportunities to help people.
And congratulations on such a wonderful idea.

Only just seen this posting but what a good idea!
I work into English so I'm not sure what help I could be for actual translation but I also edit magazines and write editorials/articles (in English and French) and am an experienced proof-reader/re-reader/corrector.
I am also used to working with creative agencies and printers and might even be able to drum up some support on that front (no promises but I could try).
Just yell
Chris
| | | | | Would love to help too! | Dec 8, 2004 |
This is a fantiastic idea, I hope we can all help to pull it off!
In the event that there is any Spanish, French into English translation required or if you need any help with proofreading/editing the translations into English just let me know.

Hello,
Yes, this is a great idea. I don't know if I can be of much help - language pairs Arabic/French-English - but I can also help with editing/proofreading English texts, which I have lots of experience of.
Let me know if I can be of help.
Cheers,
Aisha
