Hi ChessUp community (especially international customers),  
If I went through the app, and numbered all of the text fields - would any of you be willing to tell us the proper translation for your local language?

Our computer translations seem to be off.

If you are up for it, please reply and let me know which language we could get your help with.

Thanks,  
Jeff

Happy to help for Dutch too. The form is a good idea. I wonder if it is enough to translate the individual words or messages. The context might be important too. Anyhow it is good to start with something 🙂

“Level up your chess game with ChessUp” → “Migliora il tuo gioco con ChessUp” (or “… con la ChessUp”), not “Migliora il tuo gioco di ChessUp”

“Black” → “Nero”  
“White” → “Bianco”

“Random” → “Casuale” (not “A caso”)  
“Draw” → “Patta” (not “Disegno”)

So it turns out to be trickier than I thought to export and import the translations. The files that hold all the text are computer generated and generally not human readable/editable.

So we are still looking into how to manage this. It might turn out we just have to pay a software + translation service to do it.

I do appreciate all the volunteers. I hope we find a way to crowd source this and use all of you as help.
