On behalf of the Research Coooperative, I am seeking good translations of the  English text below into: German, Spanish, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Mandarin), and others. For this I am happy to pay if requested.

We already have translations for Arabic, Dutch, French, Italian and Portuguese.

Please contact me (Dr Peter Matthews) by reply to this message, with a private note, or directly by email (researchcooperative-at-gmail-dot-com). I would like to complete these by the end of 2018 if possible. Translations into other commonly spoken languages are also needed. Please suggest any!  [updated 26th January 2019]

 

********** TEXT BELOW ************

Welcome to the Research Cooperative.

The Research Cooperative is a moderated social network and NPO dedicated to better academic, technical and educational communication. 

Our international network represents all disciplines and brings together researchers, university teachers, students, science writers, editors, proofreaders, translators, illustrators, indexers, and publishers.

As 'knowledge workers' we all need to work together more effectively for better communication.

Membership is free for individuals, educational organisations, and commercial service companies. Our website uses English, but we welcome members who use other languages.

Hi! I am a portuguese native speaker (from Portugal). Here is the Portuguese (Portugal) translation of the text you requested:
Bem-vindos à Research Cooperative.
A Research Cooperative é uma rede social moderada e uma associação sem fins lucrativos dedicada a uma melhor comunicação académica, técnica e educacional.
A nossa rede internacional representa todas as áreas e reúne investigadores, professores universitários, estudantes, escritores científicos, editores, revisores, tradutores, ilustradores, indexadores e editoras.
Como "trabalhadores do conhecimento", todos nós precisamos de trabalhar juntos de forma mais eficaz para uma melhor comunicação.
A inscrição na associação é gratuita para indivíduos, organizações educacionais e empresas de serviços comerciais. No nosso site usa-se o inglês, mas aceitamos membros que usem outros idiomas.

just a note:
"Bem-vindo" (singular) - to welcome one person
"Bem-vindos" (plural) - to welcome more than one person

This is great.

Thank you very much! 

Muito obrigado!

Peter (founder and admin)

Hi Peter,

You're welcome, I am glad I could help.

Just a quick note, it's "Portuguese", not "Portugese" ;)

Cheers,

Bernardete
