Wanna start a Translation Campaign?
« on: October 06, 2015, 07:07:11 AM »
Salaam yall. I had this idea, since Shias have been so successful at translating and mass producing their propaganda. I thought it would be a good idea that we form a simple 'translation team' were we can translate material (videos and books) from Arabic/Farsi/Urdu into English. My idea is, is that we can form (for translating books) a shared Google docs, and (for videos) 1 shared YouTube Channel were we all possess the passwords. So this way whenever we're available and have time, we'll be able to translate whatever we can and also help correct each-other if a mistake should arise as well to motivate each-other. Although my Farsi's far from perfect (never studied it formally), I've been able to translate some videos with minimal mistake into English, and I feel that if we could form a team, then we'd be able to get alot more then just a few videos done. Do you guys think this idea can work? BTW this is ONLY for when you have free time.

U guys should translate Minhaj-ul-Sunnah, serious stuff.
عَلامَةُ أَهْلِ الْبِدَعِ الْوَقِيعَةُ فِي أَهْلِ الأَثَرِ. وَعَلامَةُ الْجَهْمِيَّةِ أَنْ يُسَمُّوا أَهْلَ السُّنَّةِ مُشَبِّهَةً. وَعَلامَةُ الْقَدَرِيَّةِ أَنْ يُسَمُّوا أَهْلَ السُّنَّةِ مُجَبِّرَةً. وَعَلامَةُ الزَّنَادِقَةِ أَنْ يُسَمُّوا أَهْلَ الأَثَرِ حَشْوِيَّةً

Religion = simple & clear

If possible can you guys spread this on your social media? It'd be nice if a small team could form for each language.

Knowing another language doesn't mean it will be easy to do proper translation. For example, I have never felt comfortable doing it, but yes something needs to be done to managed this. If only we receive saudi's funds as much as shia receive iran's :P

^I agree with you, but since no one's translating these materials (that I know of) someone's gotta 'step up'. One person on Ummah said he'll do Urdu and a Shia Iranian said he'll help in Farsi :p
