	This was originally going to be an e-mail... Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

..but since

a) I can't get people's e-mail addresses here and
b) Damn Excite Mail hasn't been working properly recently

I going to post it here - it may also get more people interested

Hi guys,

I've been thinking - would you been interested in joining me in creating a portal for civ-gamers which would be in both English and Español (for the moment at least)? Bascially people would post news etc. in English and then others could translate it into Spanish so that people who don't have a full grasp of English aren't excluded. We could also expand on the Spanish Civilization II Site - one idea I've had is a file library where users can download all types of files. If this idea is to go ahead quite a few people will need to join so that I don't have to do everything on my own (like I had to do at CivGaming.net when I was part of their team), jobs that will need to be filled include news posters, forum moderators, translators and a vice-president to assist me generally. If you are interested (yey!), please e-mail me back and hopefully in the near future I'll be able to confirm whether this goes ahead or not.

Thanks for reading
Chris

It's an excellent idea and I will be more than glad to help you anytime you want.
But do not ask me any commitment, I hate the responsabilities.

As I've said if there's anything I can do just lemme know

I'm very interested, but I'm not sure I'll have enough time to do it. I could try to "work" as translator, if you want.

Of course, I could accept a job as Executive Vice President, if the terms of the job are generous enough; please contact my secretary for details

That's 2 people converted so far...we still need more, people!

jasev, I understand the problem with lack of time - it's the problem that dogs everything internet based If we get enough people it shouldn't be a problem though

Waku, ideas for things to put on the site will be required soon - I just need to get more people interested...

I'm interesting also, but I think that we must try expand Spanish Civ Site. But I haven't enough time until exams ended... 22th Febrary and my english is rather bad

I've also got exams at the moment then the fun of a driving test At the moment it's just planning and it would be a while before it could get setup - and don't worry about 'bad' English (it seems ok anyway), but being a translator shouldn't be too difficult - as long as you can understand the English it could just be re-written into Spanish - but if not there will be others who might be able to.

Also, we will need Spanish to English translationes, because we'll writing something, not only translate....

I've no problems translating from English to Spanish, so in this matter I can add up.

If you're not confident about your English it may be easier for the moment to only do Spanish->English - it may be slightly boring but there would also be other jobs needed on the Spanish section (en los foros etc.)

After JB pulled out I'm the only one here who doesn't shy away saying he has bad english, but I don't have the patience for translations.
