The Cheese

If anyone needs any basic Spanish assistance, I'm not fluent, but I know enough to carry on a semi-intelligent conversation in Spanish, so post any basic questions.

Feliz Navidad!
Merry Christmas!

I am fluent in Spanish, and if The Cheese can't answer your questions, I can help.

Hi guys.

Thanks very much for offering your services.

It would really be useful if you could compile an initial list along the lines of the german phrases at http://www.h2g2.com/A227864

This is really just the first small step, and so a standard approach would seem most sensible to start off with.

As this is an on-going project, obviously any further help you can give will be very welcome, so that we can build up a proper resource for anyone who needs to communicate in any other language. Eventually a translators list will be drawn up for people in the guide, and it would be nice to include you both in this.

Happy researching.

I looked at the German entry and would compose something similar, but I need to know the GuideML tag for how to put the trnslations into columns.

Hi, it was really just the data I was after to put it into that format. However, if you wish to make the column yourself, then here's the GuideML to use :
