Call for Translators!

We've been very pleasantly surprised to find that nearly 40% of all the vistors to Roll20 at this point are coming from outside the United States. To support these users (and encourage international adoption), we've decided to begin the process of translating the site and app into multiple languages. This won't happen all at once, it will be an ongoing process, but we want to get the ball rolling now. We need the help of the community to make this happen! If you are an international user and feel comfortable offering your services as a translator, please reply to this thread and let us know so that we can start compiling a list of users who will aid in the process. Based on our web traffic, we are particularly interested in the following languages: Spanish German Portuguese French Polish Italian If your language is not on the list we are still interested! Those are just the ones that represent significant portions of our user base right now. Thanks in advance for your assistance, your fellow players thank you as well :-)
I could offer some translations to Swedish.
Can help whit spanish :D
One question: how much text to be translated are we actually talking about?
I can help with the italian, if you are not in a hurry... :)
Count me in for the German translation, if you would have me.
Thanks for all the volunteers! To answer the question as far as "how much is there", we're going to do it gradually. So we'll start with the main site outside the app, then do the in-app stuff. We'll prioritize short words/phrases that are commonly used first, then move on to the longer explanations. Eventually it would be great to get the Help Docs translated as well, but that's a very long-term goal. But if you can contribute at all, it's much appreciated -- some translation is better than none! I'll be in touch with all of you to explain how the process will work soon.
I can help with French. It would be a pleasure.
Those of you who have voiced interest so far should have an email from me in your inbox. Let me know by replying if you have any questions. Thanks!
I can help with Portuguese.
Bump!
I can also help with the Spanish translation, if still needed.
I am french. I can promote roll20.net through french translations :)
I see you are not asking for it, but I will be more then happy to help with Swedish translation, everything to promote the beauty of tabletop roleplaying.
I can also help with german (I've done the german translation for MapTool).
I'd like to help with the Spanish (from Spain) translation.
Thanks for volunteering, everyone! Some of the languages (German, French, Portuguese) have already been translated (for what we have available to translate) at this point. I've sent a few more invitations out as well. For those of you who volunteered for a language we already have covered, I will keep you on a list if for some reason the person who originally volunteered is unable to complete the project. Thanks!
I can help with translation to Slovak
Can help with Portuguese
I can help with French and know at least one other French user who could help as well.
What do you think about Roll20 tutorial videos and screencasts in <a href="http://help.roll20.net/" rel="nofollow">http://help.roll20.net/</a>? They can be "translated" as well by adding a layer of subtitles to them. EDIT: perhaps translating the Transcript text of the "GM Overview" and "Player Overview" is enough, but that will not appear in Youtube.
Would like to translate to polish - used to attend to English Philology at uni so I shouldn't have problems with translation.
I can serve as a backup for Spanish if help is necessary. Let me know.

Any need for Latin? :P
Hello! I'm interested in helping. I'm a native spanish-speaker. My written english might not be good, but I'm a good translator :) Hope I can help!
I'm a professional English-Spanish translator. I work in Mexico translating everything from letters to large legal documents (my latest job, for example, involved translating a Living Trust agreement and all associated documents). Of course (and I really hope I'm not breaking some unspoken rule of forum etiquette here) I do charge for my services. However, I think you'll find my rates to be VERY reasonable (being based in Mexico means I can get away with charging a lot less than an equivalent translator based in America). If you're interested, I changed the e-mail on my account to the e-mail address I use for work. You can contact me whenever you like. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you!
I volunteer. I'm a Spanish and English major specializing in professional and technical writing; I have one semester of undergrad left. I was born and raised in Chile, and came to the United States when I was 11 years old. I consider both languages my first language. I have not done any professional translating as-of-yet, nor do I intend for it to be my career, but I feel nonetheless qualified to do so.
I'm in the middle of my Spanish undergrad degree, and I intend to become a translator, so this sounds like a fun thing for me to volunteer for, if you still need Spanish speakers?
