I have alwas thought that names shouldn't be translated. It's a label, something with which we identify a person, but sometimes people think differently and i respect them

Bienvenido a WikiTree y a G2G, Manuel.

[Welcome to WikiTree and G2G, Manuel]

Existen 49 diferentes idiomas utilizados en perfiles de personas en WikiTree:

Con la intención de promover la creación de perfiles en diferentes idiomas, Greg Slade ha hecho la siguiente tabla con los encabezados para las diferentes secciones de texto utilizadas en un perfil en varios idiomas:

El perfil correspondiente a una persona que habla/hablaba español puede lucir como el siguiente:

trabahar = to work

to work to profile persons and to work in Spanish? 

I do not know this answer, but in my own opinion, if Wikitree is to expand its influence to other nations then I see no reason to exclude work that is in Spanish -- to include such profiles would be proper 

I think someone with more knowledge about whether this can be done will give a better answer to your question 

Use google to translate my English to Spanish

Geneanet and FamilySearch have the option of choosing one of 10 different languages. Geneanet has English and 9 European languages. Family Search has as four languages in non-Latin alphabets in its options, Russia, and three Asian languages.

I do not think Geneanet translates user entries into the chosen language, but just keeps them as entered (I have used pages where user entry is in Spanish and English — probably cut and paste from other sources), but all the webpage buttons, labels, and so on are in that language.

You change from one language to another by selecting the language from a drop down menu. You can make the selection whenever you want.

It is surprising that Spanish is not in either one, especially considering the LDS efforts in Latin America.

So, it certainly could be done.

Edit ...

I was just experimenting with FamilySearch/Family Tree. I selected German as the language, and had it generate a family group sheet with sources. All the form labels were in German, but the user entered text was as entered by the patron.

Please, please do. It won't be comfortable at first but you will be welcome. We Anglo-phones can cope if we try.

Sí, damos la bienvenida a personas, perfiles y trabajo en español y en cualquier otro idioma. Hay proyectos para América Latina, México, Puerto Rico y España, e incluso una jerarquía de categorías en español. De hecho, necesitamos más hispanohablantes, porque tenemos muchos perfiles desconectados de países de habla hispana.

Este es un sitio web mundial.

Use cualquier idioma con el que se sienta cómodo.

Aquí hay perfiles que están en árabe, griego, ruso, inglés, español y otros.

Aquellos de nosotros que no podemos hablar o leer el idioma podemos traducirlo.

This is a world wide web site.

Use whatever language you are comfortable with.

There are profiles on here that are in Arabic, Greek, Russian, English, Spanish, and others.

Those of us that are unable to speak or read the language can translate it.
