Poor Russians...

The Russian translation of this website is so bad it doesn't make sense. Was it translated with an online translator?

I offer to correct the translation.
How can I do that?

Scratch on!

Re: Poor Russians...

Why would you need a Russian translator if you speak English perfectly?

oh wait, nevermind. there are other people who can't speak english who are Russian  hmm

Re: Poor Russians...

Hi MRN!
Yeah, we'd love the help! I'm pretty sure the translation was done by humans. I don't know why it looks weird... hmmmm..
So - to translate the website, you can create an account on our pootle server. There are instructions here:
http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Translation/Translating_scratch.mit.edu

If you have any questions, email me (help@scratch.mit.edu).

P.S. I officially failed at this. I'll never be able to translate all that. xD

Doesn't load.  hmm

Is it a translator? I don't need one, I can translate everything myself. The problem is, there's just too much to translate. xP

Re: Poor Russians...

No I mean if it's going to be too hard, try using Babelfish, and then edit it, or check it thouroughly and touch anything else up.

Hi JSO - Hmmm.... I'll see what we can do. You need to be a language admin to commit the changes (or use the contact us link).
