diz re-use

[xnabot]

Hey ! what about having your old diz making a second life in an other market ? French for example.
I'm searching for my french FS to buy some template of FS that are still used in an english version and that you won't use in a french FS of course. OR template of FS no more used, that I could take to the same purpose.

And it's obvious : it wouldn't be used on english FS if they are still in use.

Just for me I need less than a hundred of template.
But if lots of template can be sold like that I would make a free system for you to find buyers on FS2LL.com

I hope my demand is not too much crazy, and that I wrote in the good part of the forums.

Maybe we can all trade our designs directly for fresh French templates? We trade you our old templates in English and you give us back French free site templates in return?

Have to figure out whether the trades should be on a one-for-one basis or adjusted based on the current currency exchange rate. The Franc is dead right? So it'd be Euro-based I guess.

What do free site builders get paid in France anyway?

I sure don't know.

I guess this sounds like a lot of work but I'm looking forward to getting those French templates and running the text through Poissons De Babel and seeing what comes back.

Maybe we'll get some ideas that will be new to English surfers. Link text like "Put down that cigarette and click here now, you pig" and "Don't waste time even thinking about showering, click here and get filthier first" and "Click here if you're glad you're not a stupid American."

Oh yeah, and free site titles like "Unwashed Hairy Smoking Putains" and "Frenchies Fucking Froggy-Style," plus French Canadian versions like "Husky Humpers" and "Beaver Beaters."

Frankly, I'm excited.

That's my thought, the text conversion, think it would be a pain for americans/english, least for me it would be. Not like a word for word translation. I had to do just a little german to english recently and it was a mess. Wonder if it would be more work than it's worth. Or just get them for the layout graphics, strip out the text and put in your own?

I found it kind of funny, all the french templates I looked at, they all had english ads, to I am assuming english language sponosrs? I did'nt check where they all went.

Seems to me, the other side could get more out of the deal, some ready to go english sites they could use, though they are suppose to be converted to french.

Is there even a french based porn market?

And what they heck is diz?

really good idea, if you are interested I'm sure some of us would too.
And I am for example.

euro or dollars anyway it doesn't matter for us, we are used to deal in dollars as well as in euro so you choose.
the price would be the price you want to get for it. It is just a question of offer and demand as any market. (and it will also depend on the graphism ability of each buyer I guess)

"We don't hate american"
Oh well I don't know if you can see that french X webmasters are more américan-friendly than most of the other french. It is because in our perception of America people are making their life based on their work and success and contrary to other french we don't look at the success of others in a jalous way, but more like a purpose and good example
It is particular, in french and very strange : to be rich etc. is seen as bad thing, jalousi etc. but some of us aren't totaly made and are thinking that maybe if someone got success it is because he deserve it : something that we think American are thinking (and other country of course)


"traduction is not so easy"
One thing would be very difficult is just traduct english FS because french visitors don't by on a paysite that is not in french (just look at my speech that is not very good and imagine others french that understand far less than me, and more over they are not quiet to pay with their credit card on a french site so imagine on a sit in an other language. That very annoying and makes it very difficult for non french paysite to get result. I do myself traduction when they don't exist when I want fresh new promo content.


"but shure we will get some very good idea of slogan !"
I already stole you english slogan traducting in french, and I invite you doing the same
Don't be offensed I promise I changed some word ;-)


I just want to tell that we would need to change some little link like 2257 or deleting a outgoing button that ar in french FS
But don't be afraid it is very quick because our FS are very similar in fact.

Exactly traducting woud be more work than making the whole FS

Lots of us are using some part of english content (banners, headers, etc.) because french sponsors don't have (or maybe so few and bad quality) content (free content for promo tools).
So for FS we need to look for english sponsors and maybe sometimes paysites and banners are in english => and it doesn't make monney

We are working for that and things are changing. I just started making FS and LL 1 years ago : our french FS/LL market is not fully mature it's coming.

For example I was using some english FHFS for my LL because their is too few of them in french. And webmasters are doing their own affiliate program including FHFS (1 our 2) it's a ridiculous number but without anything else ...

Yes I would say there is but not as big as english one.

In fact I just mean diz = template / graphism / layout
diz for design but I just realized |goodidea that in english design in not a got traduction for graphisme or template so I guess you didn't understand what I was speaking about in my title : sorry



I would just add : english FS is not the only templates we could exchange of course ! German, spanish etc... are welcome.

[Simon]

Oh man...

...I was so very winking when I made that post.

But definitely feel free to traduct anything I wrote that you like.
And no need to change anything.

Sometimes we use winking to mean "I'm just kidding."

Like this time.

But I think it's kind of cool that you picked up the ball and ran with it.

This thread does indeed give many hope to relief from itchy butt earwax to all the basestars.

[Greenguy]
