Let's organize a translation team

[Robinium]

Hello,

I want to improve the cooperation and exchange of information between the Pirate Parties worldwide. For this, we need a translation team to translate texts and publish the translations. The texts to be translated will be the party programmes, those party press releases which are most important or have an international focus, and the publicity posters, videos etc.

This team will serve several purposes:
1. Give Pirates a rough insight and keep them informed about the stand of the art of the other Pirate parties.
2. Create an international pool with Pirate Party Ads which the parties can use directly or as a source of inspiration (which saves money and/or time and may improve the quality).
3. Make the party programmes understandable and comparable for everyone and.
4. Bring us closer together in spite of national frontiers.
5. Create the base so that the programmes can be "harmonized" as far as it is necessary or useful.
6. Provide an overview of what topics are most important to the other pirate parties.
7. Provide an overview of how developed the pirate parties are in other countries.

The tasks are:
A. Create press releases for the Pirate parties' websites concerning translations of important international or national Pirate Party developments. And make press releases on our own platforms.
B. Take care of an international Pirate-Wiki or something like this, which serves to look up information about the national parties.
C. Write e-mails, forum messages etc. to the national Pirate Parties concerning these developments (not spamming, just the most important things).
D. Lots and lots of translations, of course. And subtitle advertisement videos.

- I want to start this project by translation the French texts into English, later the German into English etc., as much as I have the time for -

What I can offer:
- professional translations from French into German and decent translations the other way
- professional translations from English into German and decent translations the other way
- professional translations from French into German and bad translations the other way

What I am looking for:
- people who might help me installing and taking care of an international informational PirateWiki, an international Youtube Pirate platform etc. or who might do it themselves (I am not a computer nerd, so it is not that easy for me)
- Translators for other languages and support for German-English translations
- Someone who will moderate a corresponding mailinglist.

Will you participate?

Hi zizaq,

thank you very much for offering your help!

Does anyone know who is responsible for the coordination of the international coordination groups? Or something like that? I do not find any international Pirate Party E-mail-address where I can write to here.

Best wishes,

Robinium, is your offer still firm?

I'm doing part of the job you asked, or at least is what I'm trying to do... and I need a team of people who want to help and work.

Take care.
