December 2008: Greek translators needed urgently

* Please forward widely *

Indymedia activists in Greece are *urgently* in need of help with translations from and into Greek.

There is a lot of international attention for what is going on in Greece now and there are many articles on the Athens IMC website - in Greek language.

The Athens indymedia website is currently struggling with a huge number of people accessing the site. The global Indymedia network is now working on a different solution and this solution needs help translating technical terms into Greek.

If you understand Greek and want to help translate either the Greek content of athens.indymedia.org or (mostly easy) technical terms into Greek to help the new site come to life, please contact these addresses:

==> www-gr[AT]lists.indymedia.org for *content*
==> imc-tech[AT]lists.indymedia.org for *tech terms* <==

Please be patient - the Greek activists are under a lot of pressure now.

Another option is of course to pick interesting articles in Greek language from IMC Athens, translate them and post the translations as articles. This would also be appreciated.

You won't be expected to do more than you can. Any bit of help is a great help.

A beautiful slogan is echoing across the city: “the people will have the last word / these are Alexis’ nights”.
