I'm trying to translate a bunch of words and sentences in several languages for my freedivingspots.net website. I'm hoping that offering it in several languages will open it up to a broader freediving public.

If any native speaker of german, french, spanish or any language but english and dutch would like to help out, that would be GREATLY appreciated.

excellent initiative : I suggest that you should participate in following discussion : http://forums.deeperblue.net/showthread.php?t=60963&page=1

as a first example ASPETTO = AGACHON in French....
 
Hi Spiros

A greek translation of freedivingspots.net would be more than welcome
there are a lot of freedivers / spearfishermen in greece, so it would certainly make the site more accessible to a greater public

This page: http://www.freedivingspots.net/translate.html tells you what needs to be done in order to translate the site.

I'de greatly appreciate it if you could provide a greek translation!

regards
jaap

Hoi Jaap,

Ik spreek vloeiend Portugees maar mijn vriendin Patricia komt uit Brasilie en als zij over 2 weken terugkomt zal ik haar vragen de Portugese vertaling voor je te doen. Dan is het zeker goed.
Help me even herinneren tegen die tijd met een pm.

Groetjes Glenn.


....Brazilie........ :)
 
Maybe it would be easiest to just develop an new freediving langue all together, common to all freedivers. With all to lingo, it sounds like a foreing language to any non-freediver anyway, even in their native tongue. Kind of like esperanto?

Come on, who's up to the task? I'll give you some karma.

Anywho, to the original question, I can also help you with Finnish, if you need it...
 
Hey Jome

you're not alone anymore - I'd help you build a freediving language of it's own. my native language is swiss-german, which is just about as hard to learn for anybody else as the finnish language :) so creating a swiss-finnish mix wouldn't be a real option.. :( what do you think? where to start?
