Forum:Translations

I recently noticed that every single one of these articles have only been written in English. I tried to show this site to a friend of mine, but he didn't understand a word that was said on this site. It made me think: maybe it's a good idea to translate all of the pages, and put (for example) "(NL)" (standing for Nederland, Holland) behind the original article name to indicate it had been translated into another language, in this case Dutch. I could translate every page on this site into Dutch, Spanish, German, French, Latin and ancient Greek. I also made a blog post about this subject, and the comments, even though only from two people, were positive. Please tell me if this is a good idea or not.

Ps: I'm aware of the fact that this is going to be a lot of work. That's actually one of my reasons to want to do this; I want to have something to do. --User:Rejuvenation

Hi, please sign your posts with ~.

Now, onto your statement. The Bleach wikia already exists in English, Swedish, German, Polish, Spanish, Dutch, Czech, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, and Bhojpuri languages. If your friend cannot read English, then s/he can check out one of the other wikis. A full list of all Bleach wikis is here: http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Bleach

If you're still wanting to take all of the articles here and translate them into another language for another wiki, I really don't know if you'd be allowed to do that. As far as I know, you can use some information from other wikis, if you properly attribute it, but I don't think you're allowed make an exact duplicate of any wiki. One of the other admins may know more on the subject. Twocents 17:59, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
