Translations
Going multilingual
The blog has attracted readers from around the world. Sadly my language skills are limited to German and English. I have been writing the blog in English so far but there are ongoing efforts to translate the tutorials to other languages.
Developpez.com is a French developer site that has been translating my tutorials to French for a while.

Gamerboom.com has translated a few of the tutorials posted on Gamasutra to Chinese.

The latest addition comes thanks to Jhonatan Sneider Salguero Villa. He took on the task to translate the tutorials to Spanish:
A lot of the 2Dgameartguru readers come from Brazil and Germany and it would be nice to translate to their native languages as well.
I will have to rethink the design of the blog to make those translations work. I would love to get your feedback on the matter. Is it worth the effort?
It's a nice idea! But i think you should create a cool tutorials before translate it to another language, i miss you're tutorials… :D cheers, from Indonesia !
aaah and i voted your blog! :D
Thanks for the vote and I plan to do the easy and fun stuff and write tutorials – and leave the 'hard work' to others… :)
I appreciate the effort, but I am ok reading the tutorials in English. I am Spanish speaker.
I guess, it could be useful to increase your readers. For your common visitors probably it is not relevant.
Your tutorials are easy to follow and understand, so keep going and "gracias amigo"
Du bist Deutscher? Was zum … ich lese hier schon Jahre mit … Gute Arbeit! Danke!
Ich war auch etwas irritiert als ich eine in deutsch verfasste email bekam, zum dank für meine spende :D
Tarnen und täuschen…
I am catching up a bit late but how is your health @Chris??
I don't speak any of these languages so this doesn't really concern me (not a native English speaker, either), but I always try to read any texts in the original language if I can, even if they're translated in my language. :p
Anyway, can't wait to see more tutorials from you!
I think that to have more languages is better. If you need, I can translate them to italian.
Well, you don't have to do it by yourself.
I think I can spend some time translating tutorials to Portuguese.
