Heroes Wiki talk:Languages

Can you setup the same system as wikipedia ? I mean, subdomain.heroeswiki.com where subdomain = 2 letters long language code or something like that. Then in each page, at the bottom of the menu on the left, the link of translated languages for the topic.

I could set that up, yes. As I mentioned on Talk:Main Page I'm a little concerned about the articles becoming very inconsistent between languages and with individual languages falling into disrepair. The approach that Wikipedia takes essentially sets up multiple independent wikis and if the international community would like HeroesWiki to do this, too, then I'm happy to oblige. I put up links to Google translations as an interim measure while we discuss the best way to handle this heading into the future. (Admin 12:52, 6 November 2006 (EST))

Heroes has gained great popularity in China, is it possible to add Chinese language pages on the website? It will surely boost your visit as well.

I believe it would be a very good move.

There anyone who's interested in translating the articles into Chinese? (Admin 09:29, 20 November 2006 (EST))

Dutch HeroesWiki?

Is anyone working on a Dutch HeroesWiki? I'd like to volunteer. I want to make note though, that Heroes isn't yet airing on any Dutch TV channels. It will start airing in Belgium this year but we will not be able to receive that channel. We can however receive British BBC2 and German RTL which will both be broadcasting Heroes in 2007. If it will be picked up in the Netherlands it will probably be broadcasted on one of the Dutch RTL channels since they have a broadcasting agreement with Universal for any of their productions. --Julesvanlaar 08:36, 24 February 2007

• I'd be happy to set up a Dutch version. Do you think you'll be able to get anyone who's interested in Heroes to help you with the translations? Since it's a ton of work to translate the English version into another language it'll probably take a group of people or else you'll probably get exhausted quickly. :) (Admin 11:47, 24 February 2007 (EST))

Portuguese HeroesWiki?

If anyone is working on a Brazilian Portuguese HeroesWiki, I'd like to volunteer. Even though Heroes is not yet airing on any Brazilian's TV Channels, it looks like Record TV has interest in starting airing it still in 2007. In fact, Heroes Brazilian fans' community has grown very fast and I'm sure we have people enough interested to help to create a Portuguese version of HeroesWiki. Let's think about it! --Foxpretender 15:23, 27 February 2007--

• Hi, Foxpretender. Id be happy to set up a Portuguese version for you if you'd like. I've noticed for a long time that Heroes has seemed to have a strong Portuguese following. I'll let you know when it's ready. (Admin 13:27, 27 February 2007 (EST))
• Yes, please, we fans from Brazil would be delighted if you do so. I'll start to find people to help me. Thanks in advance! --FoX--
  • Ok, it's ready at http://pt.heroeswiki.com. I've imported a little of the English site as a start so it can be translated and then built upon. Good luck and let me know if you need anything! :) (Admin 14:46, 27 February 2007 (EST))
• I was surfing in the portuguese version, i'm brazilian but i some things in english yet, like in the preferences, have 1 option in english. --Hiperbalad 18:08, 27 February 2007 (EST)
  • I think the software has a lot of the messages translated, but not everything. If you give the the text you see in English and then a Portuguese translation for it I can probably change it manually. (Admin 18:41, 27 February 2007 (EST))
• Hey Man? Who will take care of heroes wiki in portuguese? Because "we" need someone who understand portuguese to look to the wrong things, bad words, etc. And where is our link: Artigos(Articles)? --Hiperbalad 21:03, 27 February 2007 (EST)
  • If you're asking about an administrator for the Portuguese site then once it becomes active I'll setup an administrator there. There's not much that actually requires an administrator since everyone can edit the articles themselves so any mistakes can be fixed by anyone. So for now let me know here of any issues and I'll take care of them. I'm also not sure what you're asking about with the Articles link, could you explain? (Admin 21:11, 27 February 2007 (EST))
