This evening, my friend and I got a great, great idea while sitting and discussing music, world and boundaries at her place. So, I decided to go for that idea. And Invisible Movement visitors from all over the world are invited to participate.

Are you eligible? Perhaps. Read the requirements below.

• You have 5 to 30 minutes of free time for this. Yes, just that much.
  
• Your native language is NOT English[1]
  
• Your English skills are satisfying.
  
• You're literate enough when it comes to your own language.
  
• You're not a messy typer and you know what to capitalise.
  
• You have no problem with your first, last name and country you're from being displayed on a page.

So, if you want to participate in this project, please email me/PM me and I shall tell you more.
The subject of the project is translation of Invisible Movement. The song, not the site.

Have a look here for more information:

[1] Volunteers have been found for a bunch of languages. But, at the moment all other languages are welcome! When I say ALL, I mean all. Everything from Arabic to Portugese; from Russian to Greek, from Hebrew to Japanese. When I say global, I mean global.

I am intriged! Shame English is my first language (and the fact that i'm still shit at it.) I blame those damn brits and there 800 years of oppression.

Hey, what if my first language is English but I speak another language b/c of my heritage? does that work?

[Iva]

Yes, it does and I guess I know which language that is. So, you're in:)

[Martin]

Im sorry, but I don't really get it can you explain what exactly you're gonna write about?! I know Im dumb...

[Iva]

You probably aren't. I made it too mysterious, I guess.
I just need a translation of a couple of paragraphs of text that's a tiny bit abstract.

[Martin]

Well anyway, count me in for Dutch

[Fabreeze]

Hey I'm from Denmark and I'd like to participate!

Fabreeze, have a look at both German translations and tell me if yours would differ much from them:

sawtdk, there already is a Danish translation:
http://www.invisible...t/global/danish


I should update the thread, as project is no longer a secret, by any means. Either way, the whole list is here:

[Fabreeze]

yeah it would be a little diffrent....but following the philosophy of this global action it's not necessary because everybody in switzerland (who lives in the german part of switzerland) understands the german text.

and people in switzerland who live in the french or italian part understand the french or italian version.

but there's another official language in switzerland: "rätoromanisch" but I don't speak this language...and many of those people understand german

[Iva]

We do already have a translation that was unneccessary, as the person CLAIMED that two languages that are actually the same language are different. I wanted to list them as one language under all possible names; but let's say that not everyone is as broaded-minded as me...

...so, I appreciate your broad-mindedness. Not everyone's like that these days.
