Internationalization, we need a couple good souls to test it =)

We are preparing to launch our international version of Disqus, and need a couple fluent Internet-savvy people to give it a once-through.

Our current translations consist of the following:

  • Portuguese
  • German
  • Spanish
  • French
  • Italian
  • Japanese
  • Latvian
  • Russian
  • Turkish

If you are fluent in any of the above languages and have a couple minutes to spare. Shoot an email to andrew@disqus.com for instructions to test our translated interface.

Thanks!

  • I have some thoughts about this. Are we able to choose the language of the comments on individual basis?Such as certain comments, I want it to be in spanish but there are certain comments that I want it to be in english. Are we able to do so?Just sharing my thoughts.
  • ryanlow
    I would love to get involve in the test out. However, I am not confident enough of the languages I know.I guess I can only wait and congratulate you when the languages are officially release!
  • jonaw
    Such a disappointment that the language I am well versed in are not stated above. I guess I am not of much help but I believed people who are willing to test it out will definitely approach you. Good luck in the translation!If there are languages that I'm good at I will give my helping hand instantly!

    Excellent, entertaining, useful reading, Thanks !!
  • Thanks for the info. May God have mercy on us all.
  • Wanted to take just a second and give some serious kudos to your guys. It amazes me how quickly (sometimes for the good, sometimes not) the net evolves. In the case of Disqus it has evolved in a positive manner. I'm not a linguist so can't help you there, mine is the language of spreadsheet, projections and penny picks. Good luck with the language modules.
