I want to help with the translation of Zorin OS

[FrenchPress]

@Sunlightshadow

Once I really thought about learning japanese but it is very diffcult and there are so many difficulties

My husband has a close friend from Basque.
We discussed more than one time which one is more difficult to learn, Basque or Japanese? The result is still inconclusive.

I will give you this story.
The devil was condemned by God. He was forced to learn Basque for many years. When he filially pardoned by God after learning Basque, the devil forgot everything after he cross the bridge between Basque and the rest of the world.

Joke aside, I think the most difficult part of Japanese language is its complex writing system.

In short, if you don't use it, you loose it.
In my case, that applies to several languages.

@marko94 estimated that we need to create a thread with longer than 50 postings to get a resonance from Zorins.
I am planning to initiate something on that line

[Sunlightshadow]

Well, there are many cool things out there to do team translations which are even free it the software is open source like transifex or you host an app with weblate for example.

It would be cool when you could mark an topic if it is in an other language too. With an flag or an tag for example. Then other users with that language would find them easier.
I would not have thought that I would trigger such a discussion with the topic.

On the Old ZorinGroup Forum, I recall that the forum was available in Other languages.
There was a Dutch ZorinGroup Forum and a Spanish one and so on.

I am uncertain of the details, but I gather that by the time of the switch to this new forum, activity was so low on the other language forums, they never transferred over.
On rare occasions, one of the members of the other language forums will finally arrive here and say, "oh well... this is new...."

Actually we still have one moderator for French forum who seems to be completely inactive since 14 Aug '20.

Hello
@albano_battistella

[Michel]

Maybe i can take over his place as moderator for europe @FrenchPress

@Michel

Do you speak Catalan and Basque?

[edit]
Joke aside, this is a part of what I am planning to address in a few days to Zorins.
We seems to have defunct moderators, which should be replaced by some people who are eager to help the forum.

@FrenchPress

I feel lonely
It seems I am the only native Japanese speaker here.

Awww!

Does appreciation for Japanese count? Cause you got me for that! And besides, you got a husband, you can't be that lonely lol. Try being single your whole life, see how lonely you feel then. Like I said, I am hear for ya, Japanese people are Subarashi

@StarTreker

Are you feeling lonely @StarTreker ? I hope not . I know the feeling sadly...

[StarTreker]

In certain ways yes, I've been lonely my whole life. But I take each day 1-step at a time, I have my good days, and I have my bad days like everyone else. Recently, as in a week ago, I had a very bad thing happen, and I wasn't myself anymore for awhile.

Life is tough Michel, every choice we make greatly effects our lifes outcome good or bad. And while life dealt me a bad hand of cards that have made things more difficult, I also know that I have played some wrong cards in the game of life.

And unlike a video game which is forgiving with a restart, there is no restart button on real life. There is no rewind button either. So, it is what it is. Anyways, I don't think lonelyness, or depression, has anything to do with language translation. So ya lol.
