I'll help in translating from English into Russian.

[dantedarkstar]

I can help at least a bit (by translating), since I really REALLY like the game, and can't do much else to help right now.

I can work on Polish translation. I have played UFO and UFO 2 games (whatever names you give them) and I consider myself proficient with english and my native polish (I make spelling errors very rarely .

I have already looked through wiki and seen that quite few ufopedia/story entries are not translated. Looking as the story does not seem to be translated at all I wanted to start out with that.

Cheers

you should have a look here: http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/User_talk:Zenerka

Thanks. That certainly helps a lot to not make a blunder

Since my desire was fresh I was able to roughly translate the storyline articles, though I have some holes and certainly need to go over it at least once or twice more before trying to put that in wiki.

I will also need to get into contact with others doing the translations into polish. Any good advice on that ?
I thought of just using Zenerka's discussion page (since Zenerka seems to be the "boss" for polish translation), but maybe there are other established forms of communication I should use ?

Have a nice day

You could try the IRC channel.

[Mattn]

yes, either the irc channel - or add it to Zenerka's discussion page - both should work.

I could do the Finnish translation (I'm a native:) but just don't expect it to be fast or anything...

I'm not a professional, but I think I can handle it...

Contact me if you want/accept my help. I know it's rough and big job, so I'm not promising I'd do much very fast, but at least I can offer some help, not to mention give help with some special vocabulary. Not scientific, but army language.

Can we use google translate?

[mattheus]

About Google translate ... nooo!

1. Its designed to translate all the text, for translating po files it must be quite tweaked with code.
2. It translates funny - its not acceptable solution for culture reference rich content like game text. Direct translation could sound really weird.
3. It still has no support for smaller languages like Estonian.

I had a look on Estonian translation, current version is translated by quite unliterate person. Its full of obvious errors and also childish examples. I have made some work on this translation, but my time is also quite limited and I don't know how to submit changes.
