As I see it, there are basically three components that I need to support: 1. Translation of the text pages – like the Game Manual / Rules, Newbie Guide & Checklist and to a lesser extent Terms Of Use and Privacy Policy paged. 2. Translation of the menus and website navigation. 3. Translation of the game engine events (specifically the game summaries) There was another player who wanted to do some translation, but he disappeared unfortunately. I’ve considered using Google translate (of something similar) to accomplish a first pass at step one. Both of the others would require some work, but I think are doable. From my records, it looks like we have 20-40 active players that have Spanish list as their preferred language. Also, we could open a Spanish language forum, but my Spanish is pretty limited, so it would be difficult for me to answer a lot of questions. Steve

I get the sense that a lot of words are translated out of context. So a Short Stop is translated literally rather than the correct baseball term. Anyway, here's what it looks like: Spanish Rules Page Steve
