Dear Visitor,

Thank you for your interest in volunteering to help translate portions of the Christian Answers Network Web site. Your help will be greatly appreciated! The Christian Answers Network is a nonprofit ministry made possible by the volunteer help from hundreds of concerned Christians. Volunteer translators are currently needed for every language that we support (click here for complete list). We also need translators for Arabic.

Through the the Lord's blessing, the ChristianAnswers.Net has become a mega-site with thousands of pages, millions of hits per week, and an extraordinary number of visitors from almost every nation on Earth. Due to its emphasis on accuracy, quality, team work, and a servant's heart, this ministry has been greatly appreciated by other Christian ministries and leaders. Thousands of other Web sites recommend the Christian Answers Network to their visitors. Visitors express their enthusiastic appreciation daily.

Far more importantly, people of all ages are being won to the Lord and great numbers of Christians are being helped in many ways throughout the world. People are rededicating their lives to serving Christ.

If you would like to volunteer to help in this ministry, complete the form below and read the rest of this page.

Thank you! We know that God will bless your efforts.

In Christ,

Paul S. Taylor
Executive Director

STEP 1—Requirements

Good translation skills—You certainly do not need to be a professional translator (few of our volunteers are). However, you need to be capable of doing a good, accurate job of translation.
E-mail—You must have access to an e-mail account so that you can e-mail translations to us, and so that we can correspond with easily.
Computer access—You will need a computer to do the translation work on. It would be best if this same computer has access to the Internet to download Web pages, can send e-mail and uses Windows 98 or higher.
Web browser—Mozilla Firefox (latest version) or Microsoft Internet Explorer (latest version)—both available free on-line
English equipped—You will always be translating FROM English into another language, so you must be able to properly view our English pages. If you can read this page, then you are setup properly.
Appropriate font—If the language that you will be translating TO requires a non-Western European character set (not compatible with English), then the other font you use must be same one we use for that particular language (or at least fully compatible). The fonts that we use can be downloaded for free at Windows Update—in the “Product Updates”—“INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE SUPPORT” section. For example, if you are translating from English to Japanese, you need to install and use the “Japanese Language Support” font. Most of our visitors will be using these same free Microsoft fonts.

STEP 4—Double-check your work

We recommend that once you have received the text to translate, that you look up the English version online to use as a visual reference.
Typographical errors, grammar, capitalization, spelling-double check your work to be sure everything is correct.
If you are translating a question/answer, be sure to include the descriptive paragraph under the question title as listed on the menu of questions and answers. This is to help us effectively advertise the page to potential readers.
