Since there are lots of great maps out their in languages other than English...and since people sometime want to make versions of their maps that are playable with instructions in another language I thought this might be a good thread to start. If you have linguistic skills in some area besides English and are willing to help with translating a map let me know! I have considered trying to find a good translator to make a Korean version of Civilization World for a long time now...and I know for sure that pretty much every online translator fails pretty miserably for this purpose. I also have a few really good Korean maps (I think) that I wanted to try and translate and a german map that I was trying to translate using multiple translators online (German seems to be more easily translated online for free) but that I got stuck up on due to some important words not being recognized by the translator.
So yea:

Or links to really good translators that based on your language you know work fairly well. If anyone speaks Korean or German and wants to help me with some translations let me know!
I will get us started... I speak English and some broken Spanish but I am not much good for translating anything into Spanish. Even after a few years of Spanish classes including a conversational spanish one

Awesome.. its for a cool german RPG that I always wanted to play in English... I got part-way through it one time with a friend who roughly translated as we went. But I have since lost contact with him. I will contact you for sure.
Anyone know a good site for translating korean single words? (From Korean to English)

There are some out there... I've played a few from Chile and Argentina and Brazil. The key would be to figure out the country rooms for them all. I wonder if there is a master list somewhere? I have a partial list going but its kinda offtopic. They would all star Brood War 3initials-1. Ex. Brood War USA-1; Brood War AUS-1.

http://translate.google.comIf you only put in one word, then it gives you multiple translations, like a dictionary.
None.

I can translate from bad English to good English. Example:

Translation: Not that there are any good Spanish maps to be translated into English.
I've taken three years of German, but it looks like three people already have that language covered.
