From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We are always in need of contributors with the ability to speak more than one language. Typically, you will already be involved in one of the other Wikipedias. Please add your details to this list if you are willing to assist other Wikipedians by translating short passages of text (usually from external sources). If you wish to assist to a greater degree then you should consider participating in multilingual coordination.

Please include a link to your Talk page so that others may contact you.

Add yourself in lexicographic order and please keep any comments very short.
