Re: Consent to translate your web page at http://community.apache.org/
Dear Sir,
I've emailed you a week ago regarding your web page which I found
interesting and wanted to translate it into Spanish language.
As I've mentioned in my first email, I'm part of Education Channels and
Community Support Team at WebHostingHub.com. We strive to help website
owners and micro businesses to get online in trouble-free way and succeed
on the web. Myself and my team of three computer science students are
constantly looking for useful relevant materials to share with our Spanish
speaking visitors and customers (we get more than 60,000 visitors per month
to our Support Center http://www.webhostinghub.com/support/).
Please let me know if its alright to proceed.
Regards,
Maria Ramos

That's fine of course, but this looks so much like an SEO scam that we
saw on the Felix list recently that I had to ask. Search Google for
"I've emailed you a week ago regarding your web page which I found
interesting and wanted to translate it into Spanish language." to see
what I mean.
If Maria is indeed not a bot, let's hear from her ;-)

She now has a link from us. It's in the archives.

I don't think Maria is subscribed to this list.
Of course the linkbait issue crossed my mind too, but at no point has
Maria asked for a link from us. We can't stop her translating the
newbie FAQ and posting it somewhere, so that's why I told her she
doesn't need our permission. Of course, I didn't say we would link to
her translation, I merely said she doesn't need our permission.
If it turns out to be genuine then we can use the content here,
otherwise the links will be inbound not outbound.

That's really nice to hear!
I guess, translate project will be very helpful for people who don't
know what to try first.

Absolutely!
We, the ComDev PMC ought to be seeking to have our whole site translated.
Whilst English is the default language for our developer lists and
therefore those wishing to participate will typically need to be able
to read/write English there is no reason why we shouldn't be providing
our sign-posting documentation in as many native languages as
possible.

This is another similar question.
I'm serving as a member of a S.Korea government agency (National IT
Industry Promotion Agency)'s advisory committee, and recently there's
a move to support open source software and foster global open source
committers.
May I encourage them to get involved in ASF web translate project as
their first step?

We love translations...but you'll first have to convince us that
you're not a bot, and that this is not just a scam to get link love
for your website. The latter sounds especially hard ;-)
