French will be awesome! I will set you (and French) up asap. I'm always eager to get a new language started~

don't play with me 'cause you're playing with fire |
So far we’ve had several pledges to help with English editing. And some actual editing work from Wolfzau, who has also offered to help translate Chinese to the best of his ability. Luca (aka VMee) has also begun work on the Italian front. We haven’t heard a word since from Sergio unfortunately. So German/Portuguese is still a no go. Today in the forums a Dantess has pledged to start work on French. We have more than a few Spanish speaking parties knocking on our door, and some leads who’ve yet to really make an impact, but our fingers are crossed they won’t flake on the database.
No offense to past volunteers, but the ratio to reliable help versus one off disappearances is very high! So please before you offer your services, give some thought to what you’re getting into. Also if you’re drunk or under the influence of some mind altering substance… please wait until you’re sobered up (or at least in your usual frame of mind)
With that said,
Thanks everyone so far on behalf of digitialdevildb.com!!
Please let me know if I left anyone out

It's been eerily quiet for the last week or two 
So I gotta ask... how many of you all are still with us!?

I'm still in, but it has been a pain lately, I have a lot of thing to do and I began working on my manga again which is not leaving me any free time, I haven't published a new chapter in the past two months 
Signature under construction 'cause the last one died.

I'll never understand why so many netizens flock to help out like flies on shit... then promptly disappear before they even finish introducing themselves 
Sometimes it seems like a coordinated effort to make the website seem cursed

I am sorry to bother you, but i dont understand how i add the translation i've made.
This is what we're here for 
But what kind of translation have you made? There or ostensibly three kinds. A news item, a page, and the website elements itself.
We've answered all of these questions several times all over the forum, but tell us which you are trying to translate, and we will help you asap.
I understand we probably need a translation faq, but in the meantime I will try to hunt down a useful post elsewere~
PS: The simplest kind is to login (from the front page) go here(http://www.digitaldevildb.com/maintenance/locales/fr/) and translate as many as you like, then hit "compile revision", then hit "commit revision". If that page looks really weird btw, you probably need a newer web browser (FF3, Google Chrome, and Safari work very nicely)

Ah! There is already an explanation in the French thread
http://www.digitaldevildb.com/bbs/index.php/topic,968.0.html
If you need more help, please ask a specific question
Please please don't give up 
This is the official running thread for French translation discussion. The theme can be translated here ( http://www.digitaldevildb.com/maintenance/locales/fr/) if you have privileges to do so. The official Wordpress theme (Kubrick) seems a little more untranslated than usual. So please don't hesitate to give it a look. News is translated by following the Forum Discussion link from the front page to the forums, and posting your translation and translated title in that thread. Pages are translated by making a new post via your Wordpress login (all translators are also Contributors, and thus can do this) You need to copy the content of the page you're translating into your new post prior to translating. You can get the pages content (html) by using this special page: http://www.digitaldevildb.com/maintenance/info/pages/?permalink=/about/Just copy the uri of the page you want after the ?permalink= argument (in place of /about/) eg. if you want to translate the games page: http://www.digitaldevildb.com/maintenance/info/pages/?permalink=/games/If you have any questions, don't be shy about asking
PS: Once you figure everything out. It would be very helpful to translate these instructions into French

We're always open to any help! In fact the entire website is now user generated, so if it isn't obvious, anyone who wants to can take initiative and steer the site anywhere they'd like to take it... right now if they want to even
We really got to the point we had to beg for editors though. It seems like we have a ton of editors, and no new content coming in atm (though I'm guessing if any basic news hits it will be put up) ...but truth be told, nearly everyone that ever offers to help generally disappears without a trace before they're finished introducing themselves. So by all means, please please please make yourself at home
We've probably had more than 30 offers to help since the website came back, but as you can see, the only reliable fixtures around here at this point are me and Emilio.

Remember that you are mortal |
Still here
Sorry I've been a bit quiet, as I said my Chinese translating ain't gonna be super speedy unfortunately, HOWEVER....I have finally finished translating all the page names and all those bells and whistles and one article. Gonna try putting the article up now but I may need help. If so I'll check back
EDIT: Okay, either I'm going crazy or in the locales there isn't a translation Keyword for "Special Features".

Hey, anything is awesome. It just gets weird when things are too quiet...
Please don't feel pressured to deliver results, but it's good to hear from everyone now and then. Especially contributors at first, because there is a sort of stigma/history of flaky volunteers around here

Are you still with us Dantess??
edited: You seem to be lurking... please let us know if you still need help getting your translations up. I checked everything earlier, just to make sure everything was working.
