Interested in Translating/Localizing BrillKids Content?

[Saba]

KL,

Do you plan to translate them in Indonesian and Malaysian language. I could do that.

[Longway]

KL,

I was a programmer long time ago and still do some coding as a hobby. When I became a father and got to know Doman, I planned to create some VBA scripts in Powerpoint to better serve the need of Doman flash card. After reaching LR and LM, I happily found you have all I need in these programs.

My wife and I are native Mandarin Chinese speakers. But seems you are already working on Chinese curriculum. I'm more than happy to contribute Chinese content. I'm a long time photographer with high end digital SLR and a skillful user of major media editing tools (Adobe Photoshop, Cool Edit Pro, Premiere Pro, etc).

Here's a PPT file created last year for my kids with Mandarin (my wife) and English (me). To reduce file size, pictures (as well as animal sounds from Internet) are deleted.

Regards,
Longway

Longway, will be great you share some of your Mandarin teaching materials you've created with us all! Like PPPs, etc.! Looking forward!

Hi KL,

If you're looking for someone to do German translations (including voice), I would LOVE to contribute. I'm not a native German speaker (my husband is) - but am very fluent with the language and also pronounciation (people on the phone get really surprised once they learn I'm not German!).

By the way, if you ever consider doing Hindi & Bengali (native speaker for both) - I would be interested in doing those too as I'm planning to teach my baby girl these languages anyway.

I'll PM you the voice files as well as more details for both myself & my husband by tomorrow.

You got me at German!   It would be great to have some files in German...

Hi Joha,

I'll put the German files up - content that i create as well - as soon as I have them done.
We would love for our daughter to grow up at least trilingual (English, German & Hindi/ Benhgali) as I'm Indian and would like that she is able to speak my mother toungue too. Since my husband is German and we live in the German speaking part of Switzerland - she would obviously need flash cards in German too.

Am really looking forward the fun and adventure    

[Joha]

Thank you so much for wanting to share your files. That is great!   We have been putting up in this thread the information we find to teach German:

Looking forward to your files  Thanks again!

 I would be interested in translating the curriculum into Dutch, if it's going to be included.

[Joha]

KL,

Could you please give us an idea (if you know) of how you guys are thinking to handle the translations? There are many people interested here in translating to languages that we are teaching our children, so I'm very excited about it, but would like to have some time frame. As we all know time is priceless 

PS. Hopping someone will volunteer to translated into Simplified Chinese , someone? 

[KL]

So much to do, so little time!

Sorry, Joha, the honest truth is, I can give you a time frame, but it's most likely going to be way off.  All I can say is that we'll be trying to release as much content as possible during the remainder of this year, which includes more English content, as well as language sets.

[Joha]

I know what you mean with a lot to do little time    Let me ask, have you thought about starting to have the curriculum translated at least in the most popular languages? It takes time ( I started translating it for my daughter into Spanish and have long ways to go), so maybe if you guys start assigning may be a good start.

[L and J]

Hi,   I have been think about translate the new brillkids content for my baby in portuguese, and send to you for see what do you think... how do I do for send thar to you???? I'm a native brazilian portuguese speeker....

[KL]

Joha - yes, actually, slowly but surely we are moving on arranging for translation in the popular languages. but the biggest push will come once Semester 2 is finalized, so we can do everything at one shot instead of piecemeal.

L and J - you can send a translated .cat file to me via PM if you wish. thanks!
