So I read this reddit post and decide to propose russian translation for getmonero.org.
I already read a lot of pages on getmonero.org in the past and it seems to be not very hard to translate. I'm a native russian speaker and english->russian translation is almost everyday part of my job. I just return from vacation, so for now I'm not really into spending my free time somewhere and can dedicate it to translation.
As for parts I'm ready to translate, I see other guys mention "everything except the blog, forum, missives". It seems reasonable, but if there is something important I will translate it too.
I can't really estimate timeline without clearly knowing amount of work (text). I read other guys estimatation is 5-21 days for translating getmonero.org. Considering I can use a lot of free time right now I think I can make translation in two weeks, probably faster.
I don't want too ask to much or too low :) for translation and not really sure where I need to start, so hope someone can help me with numbers in comments.
UPDATE: So I look at amount of work/text in this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/3dmu1z/translation_heads_up/ and decide to ask for 450 xmr (comparing to 600 xmr for chinese translation and 200 xmr for proposed portuguese translation).
My new timeline is one week.
UPDATE: I read fluffypony comment and totally agree with his point.
Still, if community would like to have my help with russian translation, here is couple of things I didn't mention before:
- I am an author of 4-5 big articles about cryptocurrency, written in russian language (I can provide links in pm if someone would like to check).
- I'm not a professional translator, but I have to translate about 1-2 pages of IT text from english to russian almost everyday. Couple of years ago I was working in magazine, and checking my writings was essential parts of my work. It still is, but in a less manner.
- I'm familiar with crypto and terminology for 1.5+ year, and now a believer in XMR, so good translation for getmonero.org important for me as much as for community.
- My girlfriend is actually a professional translator. English is not her primary language, but she can help with verification.
- As an XMR supporter I can and would like to make future translation (core, new sections of the site).
My english writing skills are not best, but I have no problems translating from this language to russian.
