I'm always happy to hear any suggestion that readers could make before publishing the essays. In fact, I always post my ongoing translations in the mexican atheist forum (the link on my name). Right, now I'm translating and essay called the shadow of turning, you can find it here: http://www.ateosmexicanos.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2454 Comments will be very appreciated.

Moreover now that you are going to translate articles into Spanish, as I am from Spain! I do not have much time, but if you want me to help anyhow (maybe as a second proofreader), please let me know. ¡Un saludo a los traductores!

A few years back, I tried to start a Freethought Literature Translation Project -- I tried to find people who might want some of their literature translated, and I tried to find some people willing to do the translation (I'm only fluent in English, though I have a little bit of knowledge of other languages). The Internet Infidels Board of Directors wanted to hire a professional, and I couldn't find any volunteers. So I contented myself with creating a "translations of handles" pages, translating lots of people's usernames. So someone is finally doing what I had proposed. Also, David Cabrera and Juan Felipe, you may want to proofread each other's work and suggest revisions to it. That's great.

In the fourth paragraph, when it says:

A few weeks ago I wanted to begin with the Ghost in the machine translation... then I just realized it had like 60 pages and became completely discouraged, good luck with that one! Hi David

Felipe, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were also translating All possible Worlds

Is ok, we all know is Adam's fault since he didn't told me he was willing to publish it himself (just kiding!!)

Still, any comment, mistake you'd like to point out or general advice is welcome.

By no means I am a professional translator but I think I can do a pretty good job. Still, any comment, mistake you'd like to point out or general advice is welcome. This being said, I am willing to translate the rest of the Foundational Essays. Currently I am doing The Ineffable Carrot and the Infinite Stick though, school work has recently started to pile up so it might be a while until I have time to finish it up. Felipe, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were also translating All possible Worlds, got your mail and will answer it shortly. /cabrera Wow, I feel truly honored to have my translations up there right next to your essays.

You could try to... okay, I won't do the Pokemon joke. Seriously though, is there any limit to the translatability or could you try for as much as possible? I happen to be monolingual, so I can't help:( Do we have any readers that speak other non-English tongues? You could try to... okay, I won't do the Pokemon joke.

Yes, I'm more than willing to post any translations that anyone gets done on my site.

It serves as a reminder that freethought, and enlightenment values generally, should spread not just across America, Canada, and Europe, but also across many other countries.
