The MOO Blog

We’re trying to learn your language…

8th May 2008 by Denise

As some of you might’ve already spotted, we’ve ‘localised’! What does that mean? Well, it means MOO is now available in more than one language. Since launch, MOO has shipped to countries all over the world, and little-by-little we’ve been learning, so we can speak to you in your own language too.

So far, MOO has been translated into French, Italian, Spanish and German. If your browser is already set for one of these languages, it should automatically appear in the language of your choice. If it’s not, you can switch languages by clicking the links at the bottom of every page.

As I’ve already mentioned, we are still learning, so if you spot something a bit odd please do let us know. We might be a bit embarrassed, but we’ll do what we can to fix it!

In the mean time – welcome everyone! Pull up a chair, and make yourself feel at home.

Eh oui, certains d’entre vous l’ont probablement déjà remarqué : nous avons procédé à la ‘localisation’ de notre site ! Qu’est-ce que ça veut dire ? Eh bien, maintenant MOO est disponible dans plusieurs langues. Depuis son lancement, MOO a expédié ses produits dans le monde entier et petit à petit, nous avons commencé à apprendre et désormais nous parlons votre langue.

A l’heure actuelle, MOO a été traduit en Français, Italien, Espagnol et Allemand. Si votre navigateur est déjà paramétré pour l’une de ces langues, le site devrait automatiquement s’afficher dans la langue de votre choix. Sinon, vous pouvez la sélectionner en cliquant sur l’un des liens en bas de chaque page.

Comme je l’ai déjà indiqué, nous continuons notre apprentissage alors si vous remarquez des trucs bizzares, n’hésitez pas à nous les signaler. Nous serons peut-être un peu gênés mais nous nous efforcerons de corriger cela !

D’ici là – bienvenue à tous ! Asseyez-vous et faites comme chez vous.

Wie einige vielleicht schon bemerkt haben, ist unsere Seite jetzt übersetzt! Was das heißt? Naja, das heißt, dass es MOO jetzt in mehreren Sprachen gibt. Seit unserem Launch hat MOO seine Produkte in alle Welt verschickt, und wir haben immer ein bisschen dazu gelernt. Also können wir jetzt auch in deiner Sprache kommunizieren.

Bisher wurde MOO.com ins Französische, Italienische, Spanische und Deutsche übersetzt. Wenn du deinen Browser bereits für eine dieser Sprachen eingestellt hast, solltest du die Seite automatisch in der Sprache deiner Wahl lesen können. Wenn nicht, kannst du mittels der Links am Ende jeder Seite die Sprache ändern.

Wie schon erwähnt lernen wir noch. Wenn dir also irgendetwas merkwürdig erscheinen sollte, lass es uns bitte wissen. Das wäre uns zwar ein bisschen peinlich, aber wir tun natürlich was wir können, um den Fehler zu beheben!

Derweil heißen wir alle herzlich willkommen! Schnapp’ dir einen Stuhl und fühl’ dich wie zu Hause.

Come alcuni avranno già notato, il nostro sito è stato “localizzato”! Ciò significa che MOO è ora disponibile in diverse lingue. A partire dall’inaugurazione del sito, MOO ha effettuato consegne in tutto il mondo e, poco a poco, ha imparato a parlare anche la tua lingua.

Finora, MOO è stato tradotto in Francese, Italiano, Spagnolo e Tedesco. Se il tuo browser è già impostato su una di queste lingue, il sito verrà automaticamente visualizzato nella lingua selezionata. In caso contrario, puoi cambiare la lingua facendo clic sui collegamenti visualizzati in fondo a ogni pagina.

Come abbiamo già detto, stiamo ancora perfezionando l’aspetto linguistico, quindi se trovi qualcosa di strano, ti preghiamo di segnalarcelo. Faremo tutto il possibile per risolvere il problema!

Nel frattempo, ti diamo un caloroso benvenuto! Qui ti sentirai come a casa tua.

Como algunos de vosotros ya habréis notado, ¡hemos “localizado” nuestro sitio web! ¿Qué significa esto? Pues significa que MOO ahora está disponible en varios idiomas. Desde que empezamos, MOO ha realizado envíos a países de todo el mundo y, poco a poco, hemos ido aprendiendo, por lo que ahora también podemos ofrecerte nuestro servicio en tu idioma.

Hasta ahora, MOO se ha traducido a los siguientes idiomas: Francés, Italiano, Español y Alemán. Si tu explorador ya está establecido para alguno de estos idiomas, debería mostrarte automáticamente el sitio web en el idioma de tu elección. Si no es así, puedes cambiar de idioma haciendo clic en los enlaces al final de cada página.

Como ya hemos mencionado, todavía estamos aprendiendo, por lo que si detectas algo raro, te agradeceríamos que nos lo comunicaras. Nos sacarás los colores, pero haremos lo posible por arreglarlo.

Entretanto, ¡bienvenidos a todos! Poneos cómodos en vuestras sillas y sentios como en casa.

  1. P365D:

    Yehey! On the localizations :D

  2. Stephanie Booth:

    Small comment on the French version of the post: it’s quite a bit more formal than the English version. Too much “nous”, not enough “on”. The slightly ‘chatty’ style is lost, which is a shame, and it feels a tad stiff.

    Other than that, there are no mistakes, which is already great!

  3. Lotta:

    That’s brilliant! I’d love to translate Moo into Swedish…

  4. Riccardo:

    Cool stuff!
    I already left a comment a few days ago about the availability of Italian, but wanted to add my 2c also here.
    Same as in French (as I get from Stephanie’s comment above) the Italian message is still a bit stiffer than the English. An example is the closing sentence in the post above.
    To keep to informal tone, you could use something like: “Nel frattempo, benvenuto! Prenditi una sedia, accomodati e fa’ come fossi a casa tua.”

  5. Vanessa:

    Have you ever thought about translating into other English “languages” … like Australian?

  6. George:

    Hi Denise and other Moos -

    Congratulations on the new languages! But. It doesn’t seem to work for me…

    I’m on a MacBookPro, Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7.

    When I click on another language option, I get taken to the new URL – http://it.moo.com – but the language hasn’t changed.

    Sorry if this isn’t the right place to tell you, but, whatever.

  7. Toon:

    When’s the Dutch version going online? Next week? Please let it be next week. Oh yeah, and world peace too.

  8. Iain:

    @George

    Hi George, sorry to hear you’re having issues. Have you tried clearing all your cookies and looking again? That should resolve your problem but if it doesn’t post up another reply and I’ll be in touch to see what else we can do for you.

    Iain from MOO

  9. Murat:

    I would also love to translate into Turkish

  10. Yana:

    Hi! I’m relatively new here and I just got my cards today…and on to stickers now. I’m completely in love with MOO and it’s the greatest service (and people) I’ve come across so far. If you want, I can translate into Russian – I do have a degree in linguistics after all :D
    Cheers,
    Y
