Friends,

We have been working on a more organised and useful translation system. There are a few more things we have to sort out before we can present it to you. You will notice that the translations are now in the archived section of the forum and that the flags are not on the home page anymore. This is to let you know that none of your selfless work has gone unoticed and that we are in fact going to put your translations to maximum use.

Here's a little inside info...

When working with multi-lingual sites, search engines find it hard to associate multiple languages with one domain name. This means that people searching for spiritual information on their language specific search engines have a small chance of finding your beautiful translations. The system we are busy with allows each language to have it's very own domain name, that search engines will include in their language specific indexes eg. www.es.heavenletters.org and www.it.heavenletters.org.

The translation process will be almost as simple as posting on the forums and certainly more organised. Once logged in a translator can browse to any page or Heavenletter on this website and click on a translate link. This will immediately reveal what languages the Heavenletter or page has been translated into. You would then click on translate, and copy your translation to the site or translate live on the site. When you click save, the translation will appear automatically on home page for that language. If you have not finished the translation, you may save it and leave it as unpublished, until it is finished.

There have been some concerns about some missing translations from the old forum...well not to worry, we have not deleted the data from that forum and your translations will be retrieved.

One Love
