Be a Translator!

This is a country with 3 official languages with a government which has at least 6 different first languages. While the policy has been that the Language of government is English here, we are firm believers in the policy that no citizen should be left of out of the debate because of language.

The government needs help in two ways

Translating questions, posts, and articles into English so that they can be read and understood by the widest possible audience, many people can read English better then they can write it, and it is much perferable for people to write in the language they are most comfortable with. These translations do not have to be particularly eloquent, using the in built translator in eRepublik Plus and then cleaning up the most unintentionally hilarious parts should be enough.

Translating official government announcements from French or English into as many languages as we can. These translations need to be much better and above all, accurate and clear. People with high fluency in multiple languages would be a godsend here.

If you are interested post below with your name, what languages you can speak and how fluently, i.e.

Ragoth
English: Fluently
Clasical Latin: Read but not right.

Wow Ragoth latin? A language so hard no one uses it any more

But seriously this is very important and I have much respect for people who translate, online translators are crap and I still can't find one in Estonian

laugh it up fuzzball but thanks to Latin, not only can I use "whom" correctly, I can mumble my way through most romance languages, except Romanian, god damn Romanian.

lol mumble is the right word, I once told my brasilian roommate I understood some portugese because it was similar and man did he get offended!

but they are all similar....

I agree with you. The persons that I contacted in Wallonia speak more French . Other regions, more English.

I don't speak English every day, and the school is far.

Dutch/English.

That's pretty much the deal.

Some French to translate from, not to translate into.

I'm in the "business" of translating, I'm willing to translate more interesting/international news about your country from English to Romanian, I'm sorry that's all I know. If you need, contact me (just no propaganda articles please). I'm also interested, for posterity, if we can go two-ways and translate some historic articles from French to English.

I'm supposed to be (more or less) fluent in Dutch, English and Russian, while being able to understand French, German and Polish. But having quite some responsabilities for the government and my party, I can only volunteer for cases of emergency :/

Ah, an occasion to be useful for eBelgium!

I'm able to translate from french to english, and english to french too of course, with more ease in juridical and political texts. Are there some tests to pass?

if there is a test : I can run away (my english is so.... so ..... Bad)

When someone says something like that, most of the time, he willingly makes a mistake... just to convince that's true and not an excess of modesty

I can say a secret, I have my boyfriend in the microphone and he is patient.

He says to me how I have to write my sentence. He isn't still bald. surprising thing.

When you see many faults, it is because he works and that he isn't there.

That's right, no one can know everything, but one can still know enough people to get any information.

Aaron, if you want a test, translate my minister of fun article into french and post it. If you pass, we'll all link to it a bunch and you shall receive...glory!

DEPUIS LE BUREAU DU PREMIER MINISTRE député :

Aujourd'hui, je suis fier de vous annoncer la première partie de la procédure pour la candidature afin de devenir le nouveau Ministre de l'Amusement. Le portfolio incluera un mandat général pour s'assurer que nous nous amusons tous en eBelgique, ceci requerra un grand nombre de compétences pour y parvenir avec le budget que le gouvernement vous allouera (indice, c'est un nombre inférieur à 1) et durant la semaine à venir ou jusqu'à ce que je me lasse, nous testerons les compétences en question chez tous les candidats potentiels. Passons maintenant à la phase un :

Phase Un : Lulz Articles

En tant que ministre de l'amusement, votre outil le plus pratique afin d'injecter de l'amusement dans l'économie sera votre journal. Afin de démontrer cela aujourd'hui, nous vous demandons d'écrire un article expliquant pourquoi Manong Rizal le Sage mérite une place aux côtés de Emerick le Grand dans le panthéon des dieux de l'eRep qui reviendront un jour pour porter la gloire à leurs nations.

Vous serez quotés sur :
-la clareté (Donc, écrivez dans votre langue maternelle, ne vous inquiétez pas, je peux traduire)
-le nombre de votes et le classement dans les nouvelles nationales belges
-l'hilarité
-la quantité de lechage de bottes envers moi et le président en nous incluant dans votre article
-la quantité de bières que j'ais consommé lors de la lecture
-l'originalité

Et Go!

merci Aaron (tiens je t'ai fait un message dans le jeu)

ah you don't have a news paper, I can post it and give you credit...after you tell me how to say translated by Aaron Kessinger in French

Oups, sorry I didn't know I needed a newspaper for this post ^^' If it's for the credit, really don't mind about it, I'm glad to help and translating texts is good for training!

Of course, if the fact I've a newspaper gives you less work, I'll create one.

And no, this name is universal, can't translate it.

I speak fluent Polish, and I understand more Slovak than most Poles. However, since I don't have a Polish keyboard on my computer, I can't write Polish accents, but I can translate things from Polish to English if you want some information.

If you write it on Word first, you can use characters your keyboard don't have and copy/paste in the game.

Re-re-repost!

Don't know who's in charge of translating (MoHA?), and where you can find "requests to translate", but always free to contact me.
