I've started work on Section (5) - Editing. Translating to Japanese.

I'm really hoping to increase the quality maps that come from the Japanese osu! community (which is recently starting to increase slightly in numbers). It seems a number of Japanese users want to map, but don't quite understand the system or rules..

So far, I've translated the Table of contents (目次) from the English FAQ, and I hope to completely translate section (5) of the FAQ involving the editing of beatmaps.

A Ha Haa~

I'll help edit with whatever time I find free

. Good to see someone showing initiative. I have granted you privileges to feel free to start committing what you have.

I went right ahead and submitted my table of contents.

Since the items are *very* terminology heavy (Beatmaps, Hitcircles, Spinners) I mainly re-wrote these as katakana. If you have any official translations you wish to be used for these game items, feel free to edit these terms and tell me what to use. I will keep these translations consistent throughout the rest of the translation.

A Ha Haa~

Read the FAQ about writing up the FAQ, for the love of god. You don't need to "write" a table of contents.

Also if you understand how it's done and have soe time can you fix up what yamada has written too to follow the correct format? (or anyone else that has some time, really).

I fixed the Japanese FAQ. I also PM'd yamada with instructions about uploading FAQ pages. Hopefully the Japanese I write doesn't sound too awkward.

Can you open a section for Thai FAQ? Also, NarzE said he's interested in helping with the translation.

Hey, I can help to translate the FAQ into Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian).
Well... thought KcLKcL, Vieroz, kesadisan, -SiN-, and VanMoNky have joined the translation team,
I think it would be best if I join the crew (the more the merrier, right? That way, we can finish it quickly),
since I haven't found any FAQ in Bahasa Indonesia yet (I wonder how the progress goes).

So... peppy, for the sake of osu! grant me the power (access) to translate the FAQ.
Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks in advance!

p.s. Don't worry about my En skill (not to overboard; I can speak in 5 different language).

I have some interests for translating FAQ in finnish, but I am just asking, that how accurate translates must be? From word to word, or just relaxing thought? "It means same thing, but with different words."

The overall message should be the same. Two people reading different translations should be able to discuss with each other in a third, common language the meaning of the entry.

Sorry to bother, but I haven't received any reponse about this topic. I need at least to know if peppy isn't accepting more translators anymore.

Thanks in advance~

It seems like nothing is being done at this moment, so really, the topic should just be closed for now.

Since there had been few posts recently, I assumed that nothing was being updated.

Thanks for the notice :3

What is the point of closing the topic? The FAQ is constantly expanding, and so are the selection of langauges.

I managed to introduce two of my friends to osu! today, and although quite fascinated by the game they seemed a little disappointed that a Korean version of the FAQ did not exist.

Therefore I suggest/volunteer strongly for the addition of "Korean" to the FAQ.

Are you willing to write it? Because that's what we need in order for there to be one.

I did that too before. I want to complement the spanish FAQ, which is already uncomplete.

Are we, um, getting anywhere with this? With the Korean language I mean?

I could translate the whole thing on Word and present it to peppy before I receive the ok-call to write the FAQ on the site, I wouldn't mind

I just want '한국어' added in one of those languages, that's all.

*한국어 = "Korean" in Korean

You should remind him about translation (if he still has access) or either I can do it (unfortunately not now - my PC is being repaired currently). I'll re-post here when I'll be ready.

I have never had access to anything at all.

Ask any BATs/GMTs(or some channel OPs, I don't know how many they could got that right) if you want some faqs added/modified.
but I hope you could find a person listed upon that could handle that language well. :\
