Simpy Chichimichi

Two weeks ago, I pointed out an engineering position at Furl, a service similar to Simpy. I also offered hacking opportunities to people passionate about the type of work that Simpy does. I'm happy to say that a few people expressed their interest in helping, and I hope that we get something going in weeks and months to come.

There is another area where volunteer help would be greatly appreciated. Simpy could really use some help with internationalization/translation to non-English languages. Currently, there is an English version, and a Croatian version. The switch to the appropriate translation happens auto-magically (browser's Accept-Language headers are the key here). English is clearly still the dominant language on the Web, but I would love for Simpy to be available in other languages - not everyone speaks English.

So, I'm looking for volunteers for translation to any language. Here is the current list of top 6 languages that Simpy visitors speak (ignore the numbers, they don't represent real traffic, although they do show relative language 'popularity'):

1. 22110 en (English)
2. 2327 de (German)
3. 2012 pt (Portuguese)
4. 1793 fr (French)
5. 1765 es (Spanish)
6. 1465 zh (Chinese)

Of these languages, I noticed that Portuguese is growing very strong lately. Spanish is also coming up, while Chinese, surprisingly, recently fell from second/third spot to number 6.

If you are interested in translating from English to any other language, please let me know. I'd love to have translations, and I'd love to give credit to volunteers.
