Progress on French PlanetJudo site.

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

Hi all,

Image from Wikipedia

just a quick note to say that the French language version of PlanetJudo is progressing well. So far I have added a few sites (ok nine sites) and done some initial translations of the site itself into French. It needs reading over by a native French speaker, so volunteers please let me know.

PlanetJudo French coming soon!

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Hi Everyone,

thanks to everyone who voted and emailed about what language we should do next here at PlanetJudo.com.
The result is that French will be the next language version we add here.

And this is where YOU come in!

As I build PlanetJudo’s French version, I need to find all the great French language blogs about Judo that are out there on the Interne. I also need to translate the PlanetJudo messages into French. So, if you know a good French Judo site (with an RSS feed preferably) please drop me an email or comment on this blog post. Also if you would like to help even more and help administer the French language version of this site, please contact me ( lw@judocoach.com ).

As soon as it is built and some sites are added I shall let you know!

What language next for PlanetJudo.com?

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Hi everyone,

Encyclopedia pages showing world flags
2010 is here and the Judo world is talking, talking alot! And blogging lots too. PLanetJudo is getting busier and busier month on month and more and more international. The launch of our Spanish language version (thanks Ibai!) has resulted in a big increase in traffic and has proven to me that expanding the site to cope with other languages is a great idea.

So, there is the question for you all, what language should PlanetJudo.com support next?

The obvious choices from my mind are:

  • Japanese
  • French
  • German

For a start, but Korean, Portugeuse and many others need to be considered.

So, which languages would you like to see incorporated here, in what order? It would be amazing if someone like Ibai could contact me for each language. In case you don’t know, I don’t speak Spanish, so Ibai has been the person finding and adding Spanish language Judo blogs for the site (I think I have added in total two, he has added all the rest). So if you are a keen reader of Judo blogs and your native language is something other than English please do email me ( LW@JUDOCOACH.COM ) and express an interest in helping create and maintain a list of blogs about Judo in your language.

For those of you who just want a say, please leave a comment, and/or vote in the poll below.

Yours in Judo,

Lance
