It is not all that easy, regarding translating into Polish. "Ready to play chess?" is gender sensitive, i.e. "Gotowy do gry w szachy?" is masculine (referring to a male reader), while "Gotowa do gry w szachy" is feminine. A neutral phrase would be an equivalent of "Do you want to play chess" - "Chcesz zagrać w szachy?", but it is necessary to know the context of this message. Someone close to the app should look at these messages and choose the best form.

I hope it's been solved by now, but why not use the / so you can state both genders. Gotowy/a do gry w szachy for example.

I could certainly help with portuguese. Am I going to be the only jerk to ask if there are any rewards?

Some of the "phrases" are quite lengthy.
I submitted a translation to Dutch. A few remarks:
- There is a temptation to follow the English sentence structure closely. While this may result in correct Dutch, it doesn't necessarily result in natural sounding Dutch. This is why professional translators earn their keep. But I did the best I could.
- There are a number of user interface terms like "save" and "gadget". It is a bit of challenge to translate these correctly.
[I just googled for some guidelines, and found:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/groups/275/uitgangspunten_en_richtlijnen
Now I realise I should have translated "Sign In" as "Aanmelden", not as "Inloggen". ]
- Good point by hicetnunc about context and space available. English is a more compact language than Dutch for instance.

Ah, I also entered a Dutch translation and I also used "Inloggen" instead of "Aanmelden"... I guess it's both correct, but "Aanmelden" is a bit more Dutch (and thus maybe better) than "Inloggen", which is semi-English.

Also I'm not sure what to do with words like "Google Friends" (is that in caps for a reason? is it a Google service? or is it just the contacts you have in Google?) and "Chess Gadget" (again, is there a reason for the caps? is "Chess Gadget" the title of the gadget?). A bit more information would be nice so that we can adjust the translation to the context.

I used inloggen as well :P

Ha, my second language is Simplified Chinese, used on Mainland China and not in Hong Kong or Taiwan. Clear? Only no Chinese typing software. I should get some.

Your chatroom called "Française" is incorrect. It should be "Français." In French, the name of the language is always masculine. Française is a French woman, not a language.

Many have asked about their own languages, let me ask about Persian. I could definitely help with that considering the fact that I am a translator; it's what I do. and i know there are lots and lots of Iranians on chess.com too.

Majid-Taheri, so don't miss the opportunity! I am not a translator, I would manage to translate just some parts, which are not so difficult to understand (into my language, of course) :)

Is it possible too?

EDIT: I see there are many languages missing... :(

In languages having polite and colloquial pronouns: how should "you" be translated? Also: If you happen to want lithuanian some day, you may inform me, I guess there arent too many capable of translating into that.

Deutsch & Slowenisch are two of them: sie/SIE - vi/Vi :)
