Help with PenguinWatchers from Russia

Hello Darren, and all others,
Is there any chance of trying to find someone who can help with comments arriving in Russian text and languae. We are managing to interpret their questions via google translate - but ofcourse our replies are in English. I could try a reply via google/t but I've seen what it does before and I'm not confident..
THANK YOU to anyone ho can shine light into this linguistic darnkess! πPosted

Hey @AvastMH -- afraid that I don't know any Russia, and I don't think we have any Russian-speakers on staff. π
Google Translate is better than you might think, as long as you write in very simple sentences. (The new volunteers might not think to do so, but you can tailor your responses to translate well by writing very simply!)

Agree with Darren. I think I could manage replying them however I don't speak Russian. I do understand many Russian words which are similar to my language and can read their alphabet approximately. The translator is very helpful.

Oh, great!! π That would be really nice of you. When you'll notice a question in Russian, feel free to reply it - or translate to English if you wanted us to reply that.

We're actually looking for a volunteer who would be happy to translate all the PW texts (except those in the Talk) to Russian language. Please, let me know if you wanted to do it for us and I'll send you the details.
Many thanks,
Zuzi
