Forex Project Is Now In 10 Languages
October 19, 2006 by Trader Rich
The Forex Project can now be translated to the following languages:
French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Arabic.
I cannot read any of these languages with the minor exception of Spanish where I know words like Hola and Como Esta so there really is no way for me to know how well this site is being translated. In one of my posts, the spanish translation for Rob Booker is Robo Booker. For any multilingual visitors, please let me know if the translation is readable.
To translate, click one of the nine flags on the right menu above the big FXCM advertisement.

The Spanish version is about 95% OK, but that means 5% of the words are meaningless and that does make it it a bit hard to follow - a nice idea when it will work right
Hi Rich,
I can comment on the Arabic translation, which I’d say quite acceptable. Few translation weirdnesses, especially when it attempts to translate industry terms, is understandebly still there (for example “liquidity” may become “runniness”
which is technically equivalent, but in the Forex context may not). Overall I’d say an Arabic speaker familiar with Forex shouldn’t have trouble getting around this limitation.
Hi Rich,
Although not my native languages, I speak fairly good German and Spanish. Just out of curiosity I looked at the German translation of the site - Rob Booker is translated into “Fruchtsirup Booker” where Fruchtsirup means “fruit syrup”…
You see, these translation engines can never give satisfactory results… although most of the translated sentences were ok.
Regards,
Joe
the french translation is 50% readable.
but this is amazing anyway , the possibility to have an internationalization is great for any webmaster.
I tried this on Plone, a Zope ( python) development.
Keep the good work
