Topic: Translation Requests

There's a lot of images/pools awaiting translation, but a very limited number of people that can do so. In fact, given how much gets posted needing translation, it's amazing how much does get translated.

Posting all over the forums and in comments isn't really going to speed things up when they're already doing so much in addition to their own lives.

If I do, I could definitely assist with the translation_request tag.

In case you do, or in case anyone else here is learning, here's some resources:
