Hi all! I'm thinking of translating some of my services from English to other languages. I know now what some of the top visited countries to my profile are. Mostly the top English speaking countries that visit my profile are USA and UK and Canada. But other top non English speaking countries include India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Germany, Austria and France. So I'm thinking to get some of my services translated to one or some of these languages.
I could do it myself by using Google Translate, but I always find when translating something from another language to English, it's kind of, broken. If you know what I mean? Basically, it's much better if you can get someone that actually speak that other language fluently, to translate it for you so they can know all the idioms and the article itself will still make sense without looking like I've been lazy and just ran it through Google translate tool! 
So I'm just wondering, has anyone here ever used an article translator on here to do such as that? And if so, is there anyone in particular you can recommend to me?
How can I know, after they have translated it, if they have done a good job or not? Hire someone else to proof read it in their language? How will I be able to know they have actually translated it by hand and not just ran it through some translation tool?
What sort of things should I look out for? I see some services say they can translate anything to any language. But how can they do this if they don't speak those languages? They must be using some translation tool right?
I guess the best thing for me to do here, would be to create a WTB and state what it is I need doing, what languages I need each of my services translated to and try to find someone who can actually speak/talk and write in those languages right?
Otherwise what's the best way to go about this?
Cheers!
Mike.
Google translate it's simply a pure fail, so they should work a little more on it.Are you sure you want to delete this post?

I have yet to find anyone that makes me say "Hell Yeah! You're Hired!". I'm usually saying "I probably shouldn't pay this guy!" because everyone that contacts me is talking about how they can post on ENGLISH forums. I mean, I can do that myself, why would I pay someone who's first language isn't English? lol. And why would I pay someone who isn't a native English speaker to post on English forums and websites lol. I can manage all my posts on these types of forums and websites, but I can't do it on anything that isn't in English.
As for what you need
I've never tried the article translating section, maybe I should take a peak over there and see if someone can do the job I need done
As for a WTB, that's what I did when I was getting people who wanted to post on English forums and websites even though I asked them to post on something that WAS NOT IN ENGLISH :'( I've been looking to do something similar. I've been trying to find credible people who are at least bilingual so they can post on forums that I can't. This will get me more sales through my website since it auto translates based on the users IP address :D And if I were to do this, I would need to get something written in the native language of the forum in order to have it work well. And this is where my needs are similar to yours, because I need someone to translate my advertisements into a different language and then post it to forums in that specific language :D I have yet to find anyone that makes me say "Hell Yeah! You're Hired!". I'm usually saying "I probably shouldn't pay this guy!" because everyone that contacts me is talking about how they can post on ENGLISH forums. I mean, I can do that myself, why would I pay someone who's first language isn't English? lol. And why would I pay someone who isn't a native English speaker to post on English forums and websites lol. I can manage all my posts on these types of forums and websites, but I can't do it on anything that isn't in English. As for what you need :D I don't think google translate would be the best idea since, like you said, it might look wrong to the person who is reading it in a different language other than English. I thought of the same thing, but one of my friends read over one of my posts and said it looked like a foreigner typed it up while having a heart attack :'( So yeah, not more Google translate for my translating of something to do with advertising my own websites lol :D I've never tried the article translating section, maybe I should take a peak over there and see if someone can do the job I need done :D As for a WTB, that's what I did when I was getting people who wanted to post on English forums and websites even though I asked them to post on something that WAS NOT IN ENGLISH :'(
