In this thread here: http://www.idnforums.com/forums/18909-we-love-idns-2.html Aidan from NameDrive commited to modifying templates to include translated Categories and Related searches.

So far, the following people have kindly volunteered to translate this list. Guys, please check your PM for a download link and further instructions.

Ryu - Japanese

Yanni - Greek
alexd - Greek

Selldom - Russian
rofsjan - Russian
glownames - Russian

bramiozo - Dutch
bramiozo - German
bwhhisc - Spanish
emath - Korean
thefabfive - Hebrew
BandAid - Arabic
Jose - Portuguese
kartik786 - Hindi
nikel - Bulgarian


We desperately need volunteers for other languages, please PM me or post here if you are willing to do this; remember this is in all of our interests - there is nothing more off putting to see a native language landing page peppered with English, it can only have a negative impact on your CTR.

I am sure the forum management team will be happy to hand out free Premium Membership upgrades as an added incentive :yes:

I'd also be happy to assist with any Greek that need work on. Also, for the templates themselves, we have a large number of photographs from various areas all around Greece if there is such a need for any for the various template designs.

PM's sent, thanks for stepping up.

The lists of names to translate is pretty long, if you can assist with a language already nominated, then please still volunteer.

thanks guys.

glownames: rofsjan and Selldom are working on the Russian list. But rofsjan is going to be unavailable for a while (although completed some of the work already), so can I ask you to reach out to Selldom and maybe you can share the remaining work, or maybe act as the 2nd opinion. thanks.

Astrology lines: 614 to 617:

has totally unrelated sub-categories (prob. borrowed from category "Politics" right above it)

I just checked NameDrive, and the spreadsheet is correct ie. it is representative of what NameDrive shows in English - so they are showing the wrong English Related Searches

I'll drop ND an email. thanks.

Yanni and everyone else who has this excel.. the correct entries in the 614-617 rows in column C should be: Horoscope, Astrology, Spirituality and Tarot

Hi guys,

Thanks very much for the combined effort. It is great to see so much commitment to getting the RS translated.

I am in regular contact with Gary who will be forwarding me the completed lists. Obviously, it would be great to get one person to translate and another to check for errors etc. If we can't find two ppl on the forum to do this I can forward the translated RS to someone from the ND system and get them to check it.

Yanni, Gary was already on to me about the mistake in the Astrology line (well spotted). I sent him the correct tranlation.

Hopefully we can get this all implemented by the new year.

Aidan

when the demand is there, or someone supplies the translations because they have a need.

feel free to step up and champion a language
