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

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.

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 Tongue

Note that I didn't translate literally. I usually take the liberty to paraphrase sentences so they make more sense in the target language.

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.

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.
