First things first: - What is the two letter language identifier most often used for Romanian? i.e. fr = Franch, de = German, etc. ro? ro = Romanian - What is the character set that should be used to send out Romanian pages? i.e. for English, French, German it's iso-8859-1, for Turkish it's iso-8859-9, Romanian = ? iso-8859-2 ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html

Is anyone interested in translating the English version to other languages? I don't have time for the translation, unfortunately, but i would suggest changing worlds to world's on the main page. -tfo ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Um, doesn't world's mean world is ? In this situation, the 's denotes possession, as in the most advanced open source database of the world. worlds here is basically saying every world most advanced open source database and does not, in any case, connote possession. -tfo ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send unregister YourEmailAddressHere to [EMAIL PROTECTED])

The Babelfish's translation is really funny. Machine translation is readable, but it is no advocacy. ;-) I do not really nead an interface, but just tell me in what way you want the texts. Cool. Could you deal with an OpenOffice Calc or M$ Excel file having the lines of English text in one column, and doing the German translation into a second column? That might be easiest, and will allow a cut-n-paste of the German version straight into the database backend. Sound workable to you? Spreadsheet sounds great. I use M$. Perhaps you can group the items in categories, at least navigation and text. So I know where the text will be put on the website. The translation could be different depending on how a word is used. E.g. it is quite common on German websites to use the same English word Home for the main page; but you would not use Home in a different context. The exceptable length of a translation depends on the context, too.

Is anyone interested in translating the English version to other languages? All Latin based languages should be fine (German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Greek, etc). If there's strong interest, then an interface to let volunteers translators do it easily can be constructed over the next fortnight or so. Hi Justin, I am from Austria, and I would like to help.
