From: Lorenzo Tonanni (in Italy)
Subject: Commodore Free
To: Commodore Free Magazine
Hi,
I'm a C64 & Commodore user from the
70-80's. and I've discovered Commodore
Free magazine. I found the magazine
very interesting! I live in Italy, You
know surely that there are a very
large number of Commodore fans. I
think it would be Wonderful to share
your magazine in other languages, like
Italian for example...Do You think is
a good idea? I can offer my
collaboration in this...

I unfortunately only speak English, so
its impossible for me to create
another language version of the
magazine. Also because I only speak
English its impossible for me to check
the content; I wouldnt know if the
translation was accurate,
I would however welcome other versions
of the magazine in different languages
Spanish and German especially. I can
trial an issue if you wish, and see
what feedback comes from users, what
version would you be able to produce a
PDF or text issue?
Many thanks for your comments, you
realise though it is a large amount of
work translating and checking
magazines :-)
Best regards

===================
I realise that English may not be
everyones preferred language of choice
but as this is the only language I can
write and speak in (sometimes with
grammatical errors and spelling may
not be to everyone elses standard) If
I had a choice I would prefer someone
to proof read my editing and get
Commodore Free in English to a very
high standard rather then branching
out into multiple languages. I realise
that this isnt possible without other
readers help, and that many readers do
not have the time to devote to
proofreading and its commitments
preferring rather just to read the
magazine, let me say though that
without readers there would be no
point creating a magazine, so even
readers have a valid input to its
creation.
However, as a reader you may like to
send the odd link or news item, that
maybe I missed during the magazine
production, or suggest someone in the
Commodore community for an interview
with.
Back to the language versions,
I know for example many websites are
in existence that translate text sites
into other languages (you will need to
search for these but websites like
bablefish and even Google can
translate text to some extent), this
was the main motivation In producing a
text and later a html version of the
magazine, hoping to obtain more reader
base from international readers, who
dont speak or read English, So If you
feel the commitment to translate
Commodore free into other languages
than feel free to send me an issue and
I will (if web space permits) host
this version of the magazine, lets try
it as a test, although I realise that
it takes a large effort and time
dedication to translate technical text
so I dont expect a great number of
people who will write in.
Also talking about writing in what
happened to all the readers comments,
you guys nothing to say?
Thanks
