Over the past week, we began migrating our web site from Wordpress -> Drupal 7, due to Drupal 7's multi-lingual capabilities. This new site is now live.
Part of the push to move was that, thanks to one of our Chinese clients, we had a complete translation of the site 'sitting idle', which, except for the sign up page, which is in the process of being translated, is also now online.
We have partnered up with an individual in Panama who is currently working on Portuguese and Spanish translations of the site, but, we want more ...
Currently, our top 10 visitors, by language, are (excluding en)
Chinese(zh-cn) - done
Spanish(es) - in progress
German(de)
Russion(ru)
Dutch(nl) - in progress
French(fr)
Italian(it) - in progress
Polish(pl)
Vietnamese(vi)
So, we are looking for 'linguistic partners' ... its very simple:
For each translation, there is a seperate sign up page, in that language ... when someone fills in the form and submits, their account is 'tagged' as to which site they signed up through, and the 'linguistic partner' that is responsible for that site gets a recurring 5% credit for the signup, as well as any renewals, etc, for the life of that new client.
There is no responsibilty past the translation (except that it has to be actively maintained) ... you don't have to put links up anywhere, or ever even talk to the client ... and this is totally seperate from the actual referral system. So, if someone accesses the Spanish site through a referral link that is from another client, that other client still gets *their* credit, as well as the 'linguistic partner' ... so you do not lose anything by someone referring *to* that translation (including yourself) ...
For now, we would like to limit the # of translations to the 'major languages', as listed at http://translate.google.com.
If anyone is interested, or knows someone that would be interested, please contact me at marketing@hub.org
Thank you ...
