Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

I am in the beginning stages (and when I say beginning, I mean I started today) of a new project for FIRST and Team 357. I can't reveal too many details, but I am going to start recruiting a group of people to help me with the side things.

Basically, I'm going to need translators who can translate phrases/words into their (assigned) language. I'm working on the english right now (the root of where everything is coming from) I'm going to need translators for these languages: French, Spanish, Portugese, Hebrew, Arabic, German, Italian, and Latin. I may have missed some, but that's the general list.

If you can help me out, let me know.. I'll give more information as more is available..

Remember.. you must be fluent!

Thanks in advanced,

I speak Latin. This is the first thing I've ever read with someone needing translating into Latin though. It makes me happy.

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

I'm fluent in Hebrew. I could probably help along with some Israeli team members.

French here (sent you a PM)

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

I'm not, but if you urgently need them, my grandmother can speak Dutch (but she's in Canada), my mother used to be able to do Mandarin Chinese, my brother used to be fluent in Spanish (I don't know about now), and my grandfather can speak French and Swahili (as well as a few others), but I don't know if they'll do it...

I'm fluent in Korean (I was born in Korea and lived there for the first thirteen years of my life). I still read books in Korean and if there is something I can't do, I can ask for help from my parents, so maybe I can help?
My dad is fluent in Japanese because he lived in Tokyo while he was in college, so he 'might' be able to help with Japanese.
Also, my cousins, uncle, and aunt are fluent in Mandarin(? maybe it was Cantonese), English, Korean, and are now living in Czech Republic. I still keep in contact with them so I can ask for a little help.
I also have relatives in Germany, but they are hard to talk to because they are more fluent in German than anything else.
I am also taking Spanish 4 right now, but I think that other people should be able to help more.

PM/e-mail me if you need any help with these languages... (especially Korean).

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

A few others here offered already, but I can also help with translating to Hebrew (I took a course in translating and I translated parts of the 2006 FRC manual to Hebrew)

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

I am conversationally fluent in spoken Dutch. I can translate written text from Dutch to English easily, but for English to Dutch I need to use a dictionary, as I can't spell at all. So, if needed, consider me available.

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

German here.

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

I can do Hindi, once I know what I'm doing (5+ years of learning) (just pm me)

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

Already sent a PM... I can speak french pretty decently (I lived 16 year in France).

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

I'm pretty fluent in Hindi =)

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

French, German and Latin but increasingly rusty at all 3... I could understand but not sure if I'm fluent at speaking them anymore.

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

i can speak/understand tagalog/Filipino. just in case you need it.

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

I'm VERY fluent in Polish.

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

I speak fluent German if anyone needs some light translation done...

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

I'm 100% Colombiano, I lived there from 0-11 years of my life learning spanish, I'm 18. You can definetely count on me!!!

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

Fluent in German, lived there for a while & one of my majors now at Purdue. Also decent in Spanish although I won't usually admit it- it's my dad's 1st language.

I can do fairly well in Danish too.

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

Count me in for Portuguese. :D

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

Unfortunately, I posted this thread under false pretenses. Me, being the newbie I am, didn't realize that there are no french(are their french canadian teams?), german, etc speaking teams. I'm only going to need languages of FIRST. Thanks to all those who offered though, it's much appreciated :D

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

Actually, there are many languages in FIRST, especially for FLL.
From the website:
>>80 Teams from Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, Norway, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, The Netherlands, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States are invited, as well as coaches, FLL Operational Partners, parents, corporate and local sponsors, international visitors, volunteers and spectators from the Atlanta area. The competition will take place in the Georgia Dome, which seats over 70,000 people.<<

Some of you multi-talented students who are attending the Championship might want to volunteer to help as translators.

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

Well, this project is designed for FRC, primarily. Perhaps an FLL version will be made eventually.

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

Im Chinese so I speak...Chinese, mainly Cantonese so...yup. Im not sure if its a language of FIRST but I'd love to help if needed.

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

I don't know what exactly what you intend to translate and the importance of it, but I just want to point out that it is really important to find an Arabic translator. Most of the Israeli teams know English at a pretty high level, but the two Arabic teams that attended the Israeli regional (Hoom El Fachem and Tamra) had a hard time understanding Hebrew and English, and it was very hard to communicate with them.

Just my 0.02$

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

This project has been restarted.

This is as much as I can say.

We are building software that we hope that FRC teams will use. In order to expand the amount of people that can enjoy the use of this software.

At the time, we are putting the multi-lingual system on semi-hiatus but will start that part after we get the core of the software up.

Let me know if you are interested :)

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

Fluent in Bengali, Hindi, and Urdu. Let me know if any help is needed.

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

That's great!

Are any of those spoken by any FRC teams?

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

I don't know, haven't researched that part. I am sure there are teams out there from India... are they FRC? I don't know. But there gotta be FLL teams from there. Let me know if you find teams from there...


Bengali - Bangladesh
Hindi - India
Urdu - Pakistan

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

I'm fluent in American...

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

A great place to look for help is the local chapters of embassy's or cultural centers for religions or something like that there are people there that would porbly love to help have more things to offer in their national languages

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

I can speak Thai, and I have people who can help with Thai, Laotian and Cambodian languages. I also have a Hmong dictionary, but I'll guarantee it doesn't have the word "robot" in it :)

I've also spent some time in New Jersey and here south of the Mason-Dixon line so, eh, if youse guys need help with regional dialects, ah kin hep y'all out, heah? Ain't nuthin' but a thang.

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

I can speak fluent Turkish. I don't know how well I can write it, but I can try.

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

I have a buddy here who is from Turkey, and he's an engineer at Philip Morris, so we can probably cover Turkish as well. He's an EE, but works in process automation, so he know how things go round and round. Got that language covered!

Re: Fluent in another language? Your help is needed!
 

I don't think there are any FIRST teams from India, we looked for them with FLL in September, but if you find any and need any help with Hindi (or Marathi, which is like it) count me in! I'm taking French in school and can write fluently, but speaking not so well, if it's something you need to write, let me know. :)
