Languages: 59 (see above) Pages with translations: 79 (see list below) Total translations: 839
Last updated: Mon Sep 23 12:32:02 2024
Each site has pages that have been translated into one or more languages other than English (sometimes more than 30, such as this one and this one). Note: The language and page counts shown above reflect all the translations that were made, and do not account for links that have subsequently gone bad. If you encounter a translation link that doesn't work, please notify me.
If you would like to translate a page to a new language, send me email at the address above. Guidelines: § Check the page you want to translate to make sure it hasn't already been translated into the same language. § Translations should be done by a competent speaker of the given language, not Google Translate. § The translated document should be in standard HTML (not Microsoft Word or other proprietary format). § The link to the translated document should arrive at it directly, without any intermedediate steps such as signing in to Google or Facebook. § If the original page contains references (to books or other websites), these do not need to be translated. § It's OK to request linking to a commercial site, but please: no phishing or other hostile sites, no porn, no aggressive popups, etc. § There is no charge for installing the links and credits, and no money can be paid for the translations. § Your translated page should link back to the original page. § Your translated page should announce its language in the <lang=xx> attribute, where xx is the ISO 6391-1 language code (see list). § You should supply the following information about your translation so I can link to it:
See this example. Item 3 is optional if item 4 is included, and vice versa. Items 3 and 4 can also include links, e.g. to a personal page or company page.
If you want to translate a page but you don't have anywhere to host the translation, I'll be glad to host it myself.
Pages that have been translated as of the "updated" date above are shown in the table below. Click each link to see the languages each page has been translated to so far. Click a language name at the top to see which pages have been translated into that language. In the table, entries with green backgrounds have translations; if you click on the link in the first column, you'll see language buttons at the top of the page. Entries in italics with yellow backgrounds are popular pages that have no translations yet.
