Help translate my spoke length calculator

Right, so I have written a spoke length calculator, initially discussed here, and have recently translated it into German, which you can find here.

I would like to translate it into more languages and since London is a pretty multicultural city, I bet there's lots of people who could help me out.

How does it work? Well, I will PM or email you a username and password and then you log into the translation backend, where you will find lots of little sentences/phrases/words in English with a box next to them where you enter the translation. It's a pretty quick thing to do. A screenshot of ther translation user interface:



The catch is that it is obviously quite a technical topic and even though I am German I sometimes found it quite difficult to find a short, but suitable translation.

Anyway, if you are interested put your name down and the language you can translate into.

That's forking great work there! Simple and effective, I assume the figures are all correct? I.e. it's not just test data that's in there? I've never understood why a company like DT Swiss can't make a simple comprehensive spoke calculator like yours!

Sadly I can only barely use English so can't help with your admirable translation plans.

Cheers!

No, it's real data there, no tests or nothing. The calc has been online for over a year now.

No Remerx Taurus. I'm out.
I don't know what data you need by the way, ERD is 582.9 mm.

If the rim doesn't have an offset spoke bed, ERD is all I need. I've added Remerx Taurus into the DB.
