Who’d like to help translate townlands.ie into Irish (or any other language)? I’m learning German, so I’ll translate into German.

Since t.ie is django, and hence a dynamic website, it splits the text on the website into lots of little chunks, and you translate them one by one.

I’m going to use Transifex, the website, to do the translation, so you don’t need any special software, it’s all web based. There’s a little complication with pluralisation (esp for Irish), but I can explain it. You don’t need to have any experience with computer translations (“i18n”/”l10n”), just be able to speak the target language close enough. I’ll explain it.

Right now, townlands.ie is only available in English, but when there is enough translations done for a language I’ll enable that language.

Here is the Transifex project page, please feel free to sign up and ‘request’ to join.

Any takers?
