I've been using this site since I've got Oblivion first for the walkthroughs and then for more in-depth roleplaying and I really appreciate the hard work behind it.
But because I'm not a native English-speaker sometimes I found hard to read so much English text, so I decided to translate some parts of the wiki to my native language, Hungarian.(Mainly the tamriel part, because this is where the more knowledge of English is needed.)
What I want to ask now is that is it possible to host the translated text at your site, and if it is not, then could you allow me to host the translations based on the content of yours at some "clone" of this site?

Nah, in most forums the admin account is generated automatically, daveh is the admin, but I guess he never bothered to remove the account.

Even so "The Admin" is intimidating. It's Avatar IS an Avatar (in the omnipotent sense of the word) It'd be like talking to a completely unpassionate and uncaring God that would throw you away for asking the wrong question :shock: . Anyway, you should probably pm Daveh and might want to PM some of the other moderators just for good measure.

ANYWAYS...

Unfortunately the forums aren't the place to put this proposal in. All such discussions go into the community portal on the wiki. Just contacting Dave won't do cause you have to have consensus from the rest of the editing community.

There are also plenty of issues in dealing with translations. You may want to check a previous discussion we had about translating the site to Russian (through me).

I looked further into the matter, and realised, that the site's strange licence lets me modify(so translate) and redistribute the contents of the wiki as long az I aknowledge the authors of every article I redistibute and I do it under the same license.
I have to submit this license further examination, but it seems I dont have to ask any permission if I want to hast it at an other site.
Of couse I am still waiting for an anwser from daveh, and if he doesn't want me to do such things, than I will stop the works, but if he don't stop me, but won't host the contents either, then I'll arrange it with a fansite at my country to host them. This might speed up the translation process too...
