TIG in Other Languages

Hi,
Its really nice to See TIG in French and Spanish ( I cant comment on content cos I donno).
I am intrested in knowing the TIG's plans for converting this site into other languages worldwide?
As majority of the members are from Nigeria, apart from US and Canada, it would be a good idea if that country is taken care first. It would help a lot for the people from there, espcially, if they are not aware of English.

TIG is working on further translating the site into other languages. The problem with languages is that it costs a large amount of money to translate the entire website. It also requires a large team of very dedicated volunteers to work for months to translate the site.
We are currently, actively translating the website into Russian, Arabic and, I believe Tagalong, although there are a few other languages that are being slowly translated as well.
One of the problems that we are now encountering is the large amount of maintenance that is required each month to update content. We have people translating constantly just to keep up with the on-going influx of content that we get.
We are working full tilt to translate the site into different languages and will continue to do so as demand and opportunities present themselves.

Hey,
If there is anything that I can do for languages like Hindi and telugu or translation of content from these to English, I am ready to volunteer.
Translating into differnt languqes helps TIG in reaching a large audience. I will see if I can rope in some others onto TIg for volunteering to different serivces.
