Despite the abundance of information in the FAQ there are still people popping into irc asking why their beatmaps don't work, or how to submit a beatmap to the site, or whatever. I think part of the problem might be due to the fact that not everyone is fluent in English (but we forgive you for that), so~

Would anyone here be interested in helping to translate the osu! FAQ into any languages they are capable? We are a rather diverse community, and I think this would help a number of new players out.

I can translate it to Greek, but I expect you would prefer languages spoken by at least a few hundred million people, right?

Even though I've long since retired from osu!, I'll always think of my time here fondly. If by chance you happen to notice this signature on some old forum thread, thanks for stopping by and I hope you're having a great day!

I can roughly translate it to Traditional Chinese. But after Writing, it needs serious editing.

I don't think Offset should be translate in "弱起小节开始处". Can we translate together?

Interestingly enough, I don't think there are that many Japanese players around.

I can help check the Chinese translation, but like shinn I'm not that fluent.

@echo: We should look at databasing the site's content so we can easily add translations for all this static-ish content.
