Title: Arabic translation for bitcoins Post by: hasen on May 14, 2011, 07:17:15 AM Hey, I'm new here (and new to bitcoin).
I'm looking to earn some bitcoins, and since Arabic is my native language, I can offer to translate in exchange for bitcoins. I can translate anything (video, audio, text, songs, etc ..) from Arabic to English (or from English to Arabic, if you want). I can do Standard Arabic, Syrian, Egyptian or Iraqi (if unsure, just ask). I don't have a rate, as this is my first time, so just put something to translate, make an offer, and I'll likely accept it. My bitcoin address is 18TKmN4Q1DAcroUe1mJASAQeJp5Y5Sezwn Title: Re: Arabic translation for bitcoins Post by: kiba on May 14, 2011, 07:24:43 AM I am interested in having one of my http://bitcoinweekly.com article translated into Arabic for .50 BTC.
Title: Re: Arabic translation for bitcoins Post by: hasen on May 14, 2011, 02:40:35 PM Hm, I'm not very fluent in economics terminology, but I will give it a shot (do you have a way to verify the quality of the translation?).
Is there a specific article you'd like me to translate? EDIT: I'll do this one http://bitcoinweekly.com/articles/how-bitcoin-security-works-by-analogy since it has less economy and more computer science + laymen stuff. Title: Re: Arabic translation for bitcoins Post by: kiba on May 14, 2011, 03:03:27 PM Ok. I will check this via google translate to make sure you ain't....tricking me.
(let face it, newbies have no reputation) Title: Re: Arabic translation for bitcoins Post by: hasen on May 14, 2011, 04:51:34 PM Alright, I did the translation in Abiword, and I saved it in 3 formats, abw, doc, html, and then zipped them together.
(meta note: the forum didn't accept uploading the file, so I uploaded it to a generic upload service instead, here: http://www.2shared.com/file/Y3WgaS-_/ ) > (let face it, newbies have no reputation) no worries. Though I just checked the google translation, and it butchers it .... badly :P Note that I didn't translate literally. I usually take the liberty to paraphrase sentences so they make more sense in the target language. Title: Re: Arabic translation for bitcoins Post by: kiba on May 14, 2011, 05:05:44 PM I cannot tell the difference between a BS translation and a good one, so I am going to have accept it on good faith. From what I can tell, it seems to me that it's different from machine translation of Google.
Title: Re: Arabic translation for bitcoins Post by: hasen on May 14, 2011, 06:19:30 PM Thanks :)
My first coin! :D Title: Re: Arabic translation for bitcoins Post by: kiba on May 14, 2011, 06:50:16 PM I seem to have paid twice the amount of bitcoin I was going to pay.
Title: Re: Arabic translation for bitcoins Post by: hasen on May 15, 2011, 04:55:32 AM Yea, I assumed you changed your mind ..
I can return the other half, just let me know to what address. Title: Re: Arabic translation for bitcoins Post by: ffe on May 15, 2011, 05:10:49 AM I'm a native Arabic speaker. It's a good translation. Hard to follow due to the technical nature of the subject but good language.
