I doubt they even work nearly 50% when they are asked to translate more than one word.

Do you know how long that would take? It's much easier to just have someone hired. Graal Online is a product made from a company, and it wouldnt be very professional of them to use a non-reliable translation system for translating.

Well, it's not unusual for there to be various dialects within a language, but usually there's enough common ground to facilitate communication.

Actually they are like different langauges. Since you live in Sweden havn't you heard any single different langauge then the "common" Swedish? Like in Dalarna for exampel?
They speak something completely different, well not completely but something that we that speak the common Swedish langauge wouldn't understand.

There can me countries right next to each other or even counties with a completely different language and their can also be ones where the dialog is fairly similar. The chinese and japanese languages are not at all similar, it's the history of the two countries that makes you think so. I doubt it would be right to say Japanese and Chinese is similar, no effense but that hurtful to few.

He said that he wanted to move to Japan, so I asked him if he could speak Japanese, and he said yes, and I assumed that, being that he wanted to move to Japan, he would have to be able to speak it fluently.

That doesn't work because I tried it once. The meanings are all distorted and some characters aren't even ANYTHING when standing alone.

There's many more than five. But the main ones are all written in the same form, so if this paid job is purely written then there is no problem concerning dialect. Otherwise choose between Mandarin or Cantonese, because almost every Chinese person will understand at least one of these dialects.

Well mandarin and cantonese are written the same way (traditional/simplified are really similar) but other I'm not sure about other dialects. This job states "You must be able to speak Chinese/English fluently." ....so what about writing/reading,etc?

I know quite a few people in real life who are Chinese (natives) who do speak the language and USED to play Graal. I'll inquire about their interest in the project later today.

Wondering the same thing xD (but maybe because Chinese and Japanese are similar in a few ways.)


I would apply to this, cept I don't know what they'll require you to do besides 'speaking' it. ;

I think he means he's looking for a translator, besides knowing how to speak the language but able to read/write in it...you can do catonese, I'll do Hakka! No one seems to know that language anymore :|

Well even though there's many dialects of chinese out there, only two of them are commonly used and they're pretty much written the same way.
