  As some of you may know, I am Latino. There are around 2 million JW's who speak Spanish around the world, and I want to reach them with the Truth about "the Truth" (also known as TTATT).

  Here's the two main problems with TTATT in Spanish:

  1. I have not seen a site like www.jwfacts.com in Spanish at all...

  2. Even if there WAS a site like www.jwfacts.com, 95% of the Spanish-speaking JW's won't have access to WT publications earlier than 1970.

  So the project that I am wanting to undertake, is to coordinate the translation of all of www.jwfacts.com into Spanish AND translate all WT literature into Spanish and make it freely accessible to all.

  If anyone here wants to contribute their time and skills to this project, please PM me. I will give you more instructions there.

  Thanks!

  Hi ILoveTTATT,

  I am a Portuguese speaker, and we do account for 800.000+ WT bots. Although it's not the same language, we can benefit from the Mutual Intelligibility that exists between our two languages.

  I honestly think these resources might prove useful, they're all worth reading:

  • http://extestemunhasdejeova.net (forum)
  • http://www.mentesbereanas.org/ (various articles, pretty much like jwfacts, including some in Spanish)
  • http://www.indicetj.com/ (800+ articles index)
  • http://osarsif.blogspot.com/ (some other articles)

  Please spend some time looking at those websites as they're pretty extensive content-wise. I believe most of it will be intelligible to you, but you might use the Google Translator to translate the whole website in case it starts to be complicated. (ie: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=pt&tl=es&js=n&prev=_t&hl=pt-BR&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mentesbereanas.org%2F&act=url)

  Cheers!
