Now that I have a system in place for multiple language versions of the FAQ, we need to start filling the content up. Please reply in this thread if you are interested in translating the osu! FAQ to your native/second language.

Also, see this thread if you are interested in helping keeping the English FAQ up-to-date!

I'm interested in both, but I do not meet the requirements for the first. However I'm fluent in both English and Spanish/Castellano so maybe I could help out on this one.

I can't imagine how awful that must be, being normal.

German, Spanish and Catalan.

Could also help with the English one but I can't be doing all three (maybe I'd have to talk to Jasper and Larto so we split work up).

I translated the FAQs into Italian in june, and they're in a topic in the Italian section of the forums. They're actually the translation of Osu!'s old FAQs, as they've been edited in these 6 months... so I guess I'll need to revise some parts and add some other. But anyway, the main things are already there.

How are we supposed to put the FAQs on the webiste? Will we be allowed to edit them directly in case the main FAQs are edited or something is added? It'd be really long and annoying if we had to call a MOD or peppy or anyone else every time we needed to edit smth or correct a mistake...

I have given everyone who has asked so far access to the FAQ forum. If you have any questions about how to publish entries, please ask in there. Still welcoming more helpers!

Is it only a matter of time (= you saw my post and you're giving me access) or you didn't notice me at all? Anyway, I'd like to keep working on the italian translation

EDIT: Thx

I could translate it into swedish but i don't think anyone would read it since 99% of the swedish people speak english fluently.
If anyone wants me to do it, i'm up for it

I can lend a hand here (while the other hand is clicking the beat ^^),
I can translated the FAQ into Indonesian (only if peppy allowed me to ^^), and it seems KcLKcL had already do the translation... but hey, help still needed right?

ps : how much time is given to us for translating the FAQ, is it forever or a month or so ?

The adventure goes to Borneo...
Good bye, Java....

Because do not understand English, will write it in Japanese; is sorry.

こんばんは。ここ日本語で書いて大丈夫なのかな、英語わかんなくて書けないんだが……。

とりあえず：
どうも、makafusiです、ええ、現状の日本語FAQの元になった文章を書いた人です。
これに気がついた時、すこぶるビックリしたぜ！！

いつのまにこんなものが完成したんだろうｗ
一定期間とはいえ、採用していただき、ありがとうございました。

あ、いや……でもこれ、こちらに連絡がまったくこなかったので、思いっきり無断転載ですよね！？
採用する前に一言だけでも連絡して頂ければ、もうちょっと僕の方も対応したのですが……。

しかし、僕の文章は、公式のFAQとしては、不適切な表現がたくさんあるのですが、本当にこれでいいのでしょうか？
しかもあんなに読みづらい文章そのままで、よく採用されたなー、と思いますよ、本当に。

僕の書いた文章が、他のプレイヤーの手助けになるなら、本当にうれしいです。
このFAQを元に、誰かが本当のFAQを書いたりするのかな？

それじゃ、長くなってもよくないので、ここらへんで失礼します。

それでは……。

メッセージありがとうございます。

勝手にmakafusiさんの書いた文章を使わせてすみませんでした。

実は、国語別のFAQが数日前に完成した制度です。テストとして日本語の説明を加えて見ました。
もちろん言ってることわかるし、僕も同意です。

日本人のプレイヤーはまだまだ少ないから、今の状態で良いと言っても過言ではないでしょうかね。
僕は開発で忙しくて忙しくて、書いてくれるボランティアーが見つけるまで、今のままの文章になると思います。

もし修正したいところがあるか、まだ書きたいことあったら、すぐmakafusiさんに編集許可をあげます。
ただ、興味がないとか、他のに忙しいならぜひ遠慮してくださいね

おおっと、返事ありがとうございます。
peppyさん、日本語上手ですねー。

えっと、編集のことなんですが、
今年はアルバイトを探したり、就職の進路を考えたりすることに集中したいので、
少なくとも今年の上半期は、osu!に関わることは無いと思います。

修正したいところも今のところないですし。

もしやるなら、他の方がFAQに掲載された僕の文章を元に、弄って、別のものに変えても構いません。
その場合は、こちらのサイトから公式のFAQへリンクさせて頂きます。

これからも影ながら応援させていただきます、がんばってください！
