I do want to at least learn some other languages. I at least know what Rayman is in Russian now. :winkgrin:

I believe I've actually learned a fair amount working on all those foreign versions of RayWiki.

That's basically what's making me pick up on some of it. I should look at the French articles and see if I can pick up on anything too.

Some of them are very complete so you might even find additional information for the English version!

I've noticed that the articles are really long in the French version, there's very detailed info.

I don't think I ever did translate my French write-up of Toad Story to the English version. Of course, I'm still not happy with how I named the sections…

It is more complete than the English version (704k words v. 617k) but has less coverage (1,488 articles v. 1,657).

I'm sure Steo has it covered anyway. :D

I'll get to sorting them out after I get some sleep first. I have to remember to ask a TTQ question or 2 in between though. :P

It is indeed advisable to get some sleep before contributing to RayWiki, else the articles might look a bit weird. :P

I do want to keep working on Italian translations though. If it helps with my mastery of the language maybe I can finally have secret conversations with my Italian colleagues instead of being too shy. :P

That's the last thing I would want, editing articles half asleep and wording them completely arseways. :mrgreen:

I made a few corrections by the way, I just hope I didn't get anything wrong because my Italian is far from perfect too. :P

I noticed that. I don't think there's anything wrong with your changes, but then what do I know. :oops2:

If only Rayman became more popular again, maybe we could have a proper, active community for those smaller wikis. :lol:

Spammed, but I don't know whether they were deleted or just subsumed into the trash, theoretically recoverable…

Just gotta keep the faith, you know? It seems hopeless right now, but I can't really bring myself to give up on a new Rayman game coming.
