Know any languages?

Hi All

I am putting together a fairly ambitious webpage - to be part of my own personal little site - which will feature Garfield cartoons in multiple languages. So far I have English (obviously), Portuguese (which I know a *tiny* bit of) and Esperanto (which I have read about five lessons of).

If ANYONE knows any foreign languages (Klingon et al considered too!), and wishes to volunteer their translating skills, please contact me! My hope is to have a kind of Rosetta Stone of Garfield cartoons, and maybe other cartoons at a later date.

taiwanese, mandarine and a bit french i took in school

I have now uploaded the prototype webpage as part of my personal website at www.geocities.com....

Feel free to have a browse, and email me or U2U me if you want to volunteer as a translator.

lips smackin' like some true bubble gum.

Thanks for the replies so far!

If any of you guys wants to volunteer your language skills in aid of my little project, let me know please! Especially dreamlandmafia if you really know Klingon!

Anyhoo, check out the site (www.geocities.com...)

Thanks

Ah, I see! Shame... Would have been so cool to read Garfield in Klingon (would be able to make head nor tail of it, but it'd be cool nonetheless!) !!

I would suggest Mezzofanti (or something like that), it's a web-based translator (and free) with dozens of languages... Didn't have time to dig up a link for you..sorry....but I use it all the time, just not on this computer....

I know two languages, English and bad English.:shk:

I can speak a fair bit of Bahasa Melayu (Malay) and what i dont knw my Mum will! I'm at your service if you need it

I speak Cantonese (well enough ) to get by.

Gazrok: Thanks, I had thought of using translation websites like BabelFish, etc, but they don't give an accurate translation. It's a lot better (though more work) for me to 'collaborate' with a group of volunteers. It may be hosted on my site but it is (or will be) the work of many people, all credit to them.

specialasianX: Thanks! Where is Malay spoken? Malasia? Do you have a flag image? I'm gonna email u on ur msn address too...

drunk: Do you want to volunteer your skills in Cantonese?

Thanks again for the replies

I speak an intermediate level of Japanese, but I'm willing to help if you ever need it.

Yeah I'm in the same position. It gets better every time I go to visit Hong Kong, but once I get back to Australia it just all goes down the drain.

I minored in German - I'm not all that great at speaking it, but I can read and listen to it and understand it perfeclty fine....funny how things like that work - I know how and why it happens, but still interesting...

D - that avatar is hilarious!!!! Is that real or photoshopped??

I speak and write both English and Spanish.

Spanish is my native language though.
