While I would think that it would be useful to have tutorials written in other languages, why not use some translation tools to make them? And then we can get someone to proof read them in whatever language they are being translated into, that way these tutorials will all offer the same information, rather than limiting them to only those that speak that language.

Does Google have some policy about storing and publishing any translations they make? I am not a lawyer, but there is nothing on their translation page as to what you can do with the translated content, and ( http://www.google.com/accounts/TOS?loc=US ) I am not positive if this is the applicable legalese...

So, it sounds like you can do whatever you want with it, as long as Google gets to use it as well.

Of Course, that being said, I only speak english, and have rudimentary skills in a couple other languages, so I could only offer to proof read a translation to ensure it makes sense, not that it translated correctly.

I will say from what start you have on this Floss stuff is quite nice. If this sounds like a good idea, I would be more than happy to help out with these things.

It will be twice as nice by the end of the week, we hope! ;-) Then I'll
publish a call to contribute new tutorials. Or maybe you can team up
with "Screaming" Frank Barknecht to do a German version...

Hope you're interested!
best,
