Are you fluent in Dutch, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish or Turkish?

OK firstly this is not paid work - nor is it some dodgy pyramid scheme/risky profit sharing venture etc. but something very simple that will take a few minutes of your time!

I have written a free plugin for WordPress about a month ago called reCAPTCHA Form and I'm currently working on a new version of it which has a couple of new features - one of which is language support.

The problem I'm stuck on at the moment is that I need to have about 8 phrases (basically one line sentences) translated into the above languages from English. The phrases will be used for the contact form field and for error/information messages.

I did try the Google and Babelfish translation sites but to be honest I think it would look better if the text was written from someone that spoke these languages fluently/is their mother tongue etc.

Now I don't have any cash to offer for your help (this is a free plugin for the WordPress community after all) but what I am willing to do is credit any translation work to you both on the plugin page at wordpress.org and on our own plugins website with links to your website.

If this is something you would be interested in taking part in, please drop me a PM and I'll give you the full details.

Cheers,

Sam

I'm OK (thought NOT fluent) in Dutch, French and German (and Maltese, LOL!).

I'd have trouble writing stuff from scratch, but what I could do is take the Google/Babel versions, decide what was wrong with them, and put it right. If that would be useful, and you don't find any fluent speakers, send me a message via my site. But if you find fluent speakers, go for them first ;)
