Multilingual Speakers: Interested in FAQ Translation?

I would volunteer to translate the FAQ into Mandarin and Indonesian. Malay may be a bit of a problem but I don't see why I can't try. Well, I have to, at least, complete my examinations first. I'm quite competent with the other two. My grasp of Japanese isn't very good yet, so I won't want to try. D:

How's the translations coming about?

I think translating the FAQ is a wonderful idea. :] But what about the game? Would the text in the actual application need to be translated as well, for players ease? I guess it's pretty easy to find out what buttons do what by trial-and-error, though.

I'm actually surprised no one's offered to do German or French. Thought they would be more popular. I'm learning them but I don't know them well enough to do a translation.

Adding multi-language support to the game is one of the long-term goals for Osu!, but it got out-voted by OpenGL support and Storyboard editor. That doesn't mean it won't be in the game, it just won't be there until much later.

Tagalog is hard. Thats why I don't bother translating. And IMO Taglish sucks.

OMG, the FAQs all changed with the new website! I'll wait for peppy to add other translations before translating the differences again

And by the way, can we edit images to translate them into another language (french in my case)

I think the good Doctor planned ahead for this, as most images have a number-based legend to make translating them easy. For the ones that have English words written on them, it's pretty easy to edit those images.
