Thank you for visiting this page
and thank you for your interest!
We have started since 2007 to translate the articles of this magazine to
Russian (50 % done) and to Spanish (10% done). We plan to continue doing this, aiming at
translations of the magazine, in addition to Russian and Spanish,
to:
French,
German,
Italian,
Portuguese,
Chinese (Traditional and Simplified),
Korean,
Japanese,
Hindi,
Dutch.
This
list seems so long! Right? Why are we doing this? Does not everybody in
the world speak English? The answer is obviously not. The Greek version
of this magazine gets nearly as many visits as the english version from
people searching in google and in other search engines in Greek. The
same for the other languages we have started translation. These non-English
speakers is that we want to reach with our translations. This cannot happen at once. With 2 small
kids, full time work and the magazine counting
more than 1.000 pages I could not supervise more than one language per
year. Now where does your part come in ? You can be a shareholder on
this by helping in this translation: the way these translations are done
is by hiring professional translators who, working as contractors,
translate the articles. I'm doing all the Scriptures in the articles and
by using online tools I'm also controlling in detail the quality of the
translations. It is by itself a task that takes me several hours per
week. Still however I haven't told you where you can help! Here I'm
coming: The translators do the job on a time and material basis i.e.
they are paid for every word they translate. The cost can be up to 6.000
USD per language. It is big amount. Isn't it? As you may have guessed, your
participation could be by helping covering part of this cost. Even a
small donation makes a difference not only monetary but also
emotionally, as we feel somebody else is participating with us in this.
God does participate with us in this, but we can see it also through
your participation. It is easy to donate. It can be done via paypal, if
you have a paypal account, or via your visa, master or EC card. It is
absolutely secured, handled by the paypal.com website and used by many
millions of users worldwide. You only need to define below the currency
you would like to use and press the button Donate. This will take you to
the paypal secure website with the "donations at jba.gr" email
address at the top. There you can enter the amount you would like to
donate and proceed by either logging on to your paypal account or by
using your credit card/bank account option.
Thank
you very much for your support! It is much appreciated and it is going
to have an important impact, helping us accomplish what God has called
us to accomplish: to teach His Word.
