Hello fellow forum dwellers,

I've been handing out Lucrezia Lamont's fabulous new resident information kit left, right and centre, but this evening came across a French girl who spoke barely any English, and my French is well ...... not. So while my usual quick shop went reasonably well with aid of babbler and de-babbler, that info is probably not boing to be much use to her.
So does anyone know whether this kit has been translated into other languages? I sent an IM to Lucrezia, but just in case her IMs are capped or indeed if it hasn't.... would anyone volunteer?

:)

That's a good idea. Wish I could help with the translation(s) but I have a hard time with English as it is. :)

I'd love to get a few translations into other languages if there are any out there. I might try to translate it with babbler or some web service and see how well that does. I just hope I don't get a really bad translation like "You smell like a goat and your father was a donkey." hehe

There's a Chinese version available, but I'm not aware that it's been translated into any other languages.

We need to do that.

I need to check how long the texts are and whether I can find time do do it. Apart from that, I'm all yours. I'm even a professional, as in, I've had translations actually published....so it doesn't turn out crap or insults anyone's close family members! ;) (Although I could include that for the anti griefer version....)

Edit: I was talking about German.....or is anyone interested in an Ancient Egyptian version?
