Do the travel info articles have to be written in English or can we use any other language, e.g. Portuguese, Spanish, German, French...etc..
If they have to be written in English, do you provide translation service?

Hm

For now I only do english. Once this site has exceeded a certain critical mass I will roll out other language versions. I don't provide translation services, since I do not have the bandwidth to do so.

If you have trouble understanding an article, you can send it through here:

Unfortunately I cannot translate foreign language submissions, unless someone is willing to help out with it. 

Ultimately

Ultimately this is also a question of liability and trust.

Since I am responsible for anything being posted here, I need to find foreign language speakers who I can trust. I can then elevate them to administrators and give them full control over the foreign language part of this website. 

The foreign language part would be a completely seperate sub-domain of this one with a copy of all the scripts and code running on its own database.

Generally I think its a wonderful idea, but I don't want to spread my resources too thin now. This website is relatively young and growing steadily. It is not set up to make profits either. I am dedicating a lot of my time to it, and I cannot pay for translation services unless I turn it into a money making site and place advertisements (which I am not ready to do). So I would have to find someone equally dedicated who is willing to do some work without pay. 

Google translator works

Google translator works pretty well. Different languadges WOULD be good, but also get confusing and bandwith is deffianatly a problem. But then again, would be nice to touch up on some other languadges.
