Care sheets in other languages welcome!

Since we are a truly global communtiy, I urge you guys to post care sheets in other languages. You are more than welcome to post the care sheets in your native tongue, and I will do my best to have some of them translated. I will post the translation below the original when possible.

I am willing to do so,but I can't post them because the links to imageschack seem to be a problem,or is it because i'm just new on the forum?

If you guys want I can translate (when I've got time

) all or some of the English care sheets in Italian. If you think they could come in useful for some of my compatriots...

I could do Korean and also Spanish... but I don't think many ppl from their are in this forum...

well, if anyone is interested I could do translation into/from German and Japanese...sadly not good enough to write my own care sheets, but happy to help with translation if I can!

I would be very interested in Japanese, although my skill limit me from translating into it. I don't think there are any other languages on this forum so maybe we should start it.

...you want us to start just translating the care sheets on this website into Japanese?

To be honest, I had considered more of a "translation by request" kind of idea, but I can see how just going and translating them all might be...fun...if a lot of work?

But ok, I do like a challenge...so, tell me how we could work together to do this! (you did say *we* after all

)

Lol my japanese is limited but I can sure do Korean. Because noone is adding anything no one is requesting. I am going to start up today on leopard gecko as that is one of the more common ones. I don't think it should be bad, after a while we will know most words as all the caresheets have similarity

. Anyways it will help me with more knowledge.

I guess I could try working on japanese but I will need help as my grammar and vocab is limited

okay...you got me wondering...it would certainly be a nice challenge, seeing as my translation skills are mainly focused towards technical/business/computer related publications (that's my job), but time! who has the kind of time to go translating things just for the heck of it?!? and...who are we targeting with those translated care sheets?

still...I do like a challenge...

ok, so I said in my post that I am not good enough to write my own care sheets, which leaves translating those of others...so I want to throw these questions out:

do you want to proceed at random? like...we just pick whatever care sheets we like? (or maybe, whichever ones are most interesting to us

)...or you want to work on the same one together? (that would involve us, actually communicating more real time...maybe...or very diligently checking this specific forum..hehe)

and...copyright...I mean, it seems to me that we should probably ask the original author if he/she minds us using their care sheets?

oi..I may be complicating this unnecessarily!

but...let me know what you think

as far as you doing the translation into japanese...*grin*...not to discourage you, but I do this stuff professionally and I *still* need LOTS of help

so unless you're being modest about you japanese skill, it seems more trouble than it's worth??

so anyway...thinking of doing one about tokays, because that's a fairly popular one here in japan, but yeah...think I ought to ask the author if he/she minds first..
