Ton Zijlstra		Hi Colin, I could translate all the permanent text labels into Dutch for you. Just send me an e-mail at blog@zylstra.demon.nl with the stuff that's to be translated.

I have built pages in all the FIGS language [Well, I'm working on finishing up Italian], and am working on Arabic and Hebrew, for the sake of learning about language and directional attributes in HTML 4.1, and because I have a contributor who wants to write in and cover Hebrew and Romanian and Dutch literature. That's pretty cool. The URLs are finally live [.org, .info, with .us and .com to come, and the search engines are coming crawling. > >For me, it's a practical education in internationalization-localization for a DYI Web developer, but of course I need to attract collaborators [will someone translate all the permanent text lables into Dutch and Turkish for me, please?] and the DYI "marketing" side is where I guess I feel weakest. How to target that diverse audience of language professionals, Web geeks into localizing content, and most of all the multilingual bloggers? I wish that sites like Pepys and Globe of Blogs and Eaton would offer an "International" category, I'm going to suggest it to them. I even took out a gold membership in Ryze to be able to pivot from blogs on languages. That's sacrifice. > >> Ton Zijlstra wrote: >> Hi Colin, >> >>sounds interesting! Let's talk a bit more about it.

The idea is a game of linguistic "six degrees of separation": I blog in English and Portuguese, the languages I can write, about blogs I read in other languages I can read. Anyone who shares at least one language with me can read about memes in languages they may lack. Through cross-linking, we encourage multilingual knowledge-sharing. I am working on the Portuguese community now, have Spanish bloggers interested, and figure to do French next. Any German and Dutch bilingualists with an interest would be greatly appreciated. Asian languages, Slavic languages, living Latin, Esperanto, anything goes. Visit the development log [just English so far] to comment or suggest. >> >> Private Reply to Ton Zijlstra (new win)
