Can we write Wiki in that text instead of Viki when writing inglese ;>)

With your proposal, those inofficial languages colored differently if possible, so the official ones stand out.

Just note that the foreign language character codes still get mangled. This can be overcome I think by previewing a post first.

Still, find a Germany based science project who's offering a WCG worthy project of reasonable duration and this might push the 'official' translated parts. The Wiki allows to expand much further, plus the updates can be ad hoc and communal. Hoping the Italian teams too will decide to contribute their work, which is currently pretty much only seen by a specific Italian Team's members.

Spread the word, and I think a great suggestion.

Okay, let me try less colloquial:

Translation: I like your suggestion but if implemented suggest to somehow identify the official and none official translations using color coding.
Translation: The foreign characters get distorted when posting on the WCG forums such as: Deutsche Überstzung unserer Webseite. Sie können

Translation: If there were a science project at WCG originating in Germany there is a bigger incentive for WCG to implement an official German translation. BUT, it will still be partial as any other official translations, so the wiki is The way to expand and do more pages.

Translation: Tell as many as you can in whatever way possible. Ways are discussed in a number of threads in the Chat Room. Maybe more will help translate wiki pages, to include the many English FAQ's already in place. The rule though is depressing: 2% say they could. Of that 2% say they would. Of those 2% say they'll consider and of those latter, 2% actually do, which is pretty much you and me. Creating them is one thing, maintaining another. Quite a commitment, same as WCG is committed to keep the grid functioning for years to come.

I'll expand the Start Here FAQ in due course to point to the different translations. The Original WCG Wiki could also do with such an index page to begin by creating one in English pointing to the others. I see none presently, which makes finding the translations harder.

Unofficial languages listed is something the WCG webdeveloper would have to do, if amenable to the idea.

Hello Martin.Schnellinger,
This is a very interesting idea. The problem is that any direct linkage from the WCG site might seem to imply approval of the wiki site by IBM, without actually giving IBM any authority. Responsibility without authority is a legal no-no. However, if a review of the wiki site shows that it is a useful resource, it might be possible to find a place to add a paragraph with a link to the wiki after carefully describing it as a non-IBM site maintained by volunteers and listing some of the resources available on it. I certainly would like to see that.

Hello Martin,

old thread, but there are many Informations about WCG in German. One resource is our portal setigermany.de where you could read some short infos on the mainpage or the hole stuff in the wiki: http://www.setigermany.de/wiki/World_Community_Grid Because our team is the biggest German DC-Community you could get any Information in our Forum too ;)
And there are some other teams with Content in German about WCG. I think, there is no nead to got everything in German here too.

Beste Grüße
prote

PS: guck doch mal in den Bereich, wo sich die Teams vorstellen, auch dort gibt ein paar aktive deutschsprachige "Vertretungen" ;)

Hi Martin!

Are you aware of the wiki at rechenkraft.net which provides information (although I must admit that we don't have published as much information about WCG as you have) about WCG as well as on other distributed computing projects? Maybe we should arrange things to avoid double efforts... ;)
