Translation mission

[Youssef Rahoui]

Hi dear French lovers!

I am an French entrepreneur based in Paris. I have a translation mission for those who would like to practice their understanding of French.
You may find everything you want to know here. Don not hesitate to pass along the message!

A bientôt !

Hey, welcome to the forums!

About your project - I'm interested in having a part in it. However, I'm fairly bad at making my sentences in French sound proper. I would like to help you out in order to gain more practice, but first is this open to everyone or just those who have a better handle of the language. Also, will you be looking over everyone's translations, editing what doesn't seem to be right not only to help your website but whomever did the translations in the first place?

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your interest. I think I have been misleading. In fact, the job is to translate posts from French to English. I am pretty confident about your English ;-) You tell me about your French. You can already have a look at the French blog.

[Ryan Mason]

Oh from French to English. Well thats not nearly as bad as I thought it was - thanks for clearing that up.

In that case I suppose I wouldn't mind helping out, so long as schedule allows it. It'll be fun to have a hand in translating things and hopefully it'll be a good chance to make more online friends. :).

Ryan,

Fine! Why not giving a try at once? You could pick up whatever post and translate it.

BTW, as for online friends, I definitely agree! :-)

[Ryan Mason]

ok then. I'll give this page a try: http://www.bleupontproductions.com/fr/?cat=4

Cause I'm going to be a bit busy tonight and tomorrow I'll try to have most of the post done for tomorrow night. Should I email you with what I have then?

[Caroline Cooper]

Thanks Youssef for that :D

[Youssef Rahoui]

You're welcome Caroline :-)

It would be good to make this a group project. Translating whole post by oneself may get overwhelming. I'm not per se a newbie at French, but even I was looking for a fairly short post to work on.

[Youssef Rahoui]

OK! Why not creating a specific topic and copy and paste a post?

[Ryan Mason]

Yea, I don't see why not. It would be good to have few eyes watching out for errors. In that case I'll start the tread tomorrow with my work on the post I linked to earlier.

[Youssef Rahoui]

Fine! I very much like the idea: it is something like an Open Source translation: it can be funny :-)

[Ryan Mason]

Ah great comparison. I was just making a presentation about a very important Open Source project I'm into. lol
