As a member of the Shortmail community, you can help us translate Shortmail into other languages!

We'll start with these sentences:

"I just installed @Shortmail on my iPhone 4. Claim your account and join the email revolution! shml.me/app"

"Shortmail is even more fun with friends and colleagues. And it's great for small group conversations. Why not invite some friends?"

Please post a translation here (Spanish, German, French, Japanese etc!) and we'll include it in our app!

"Je viens juste d'installer @Shortmail sur mon iPhone 4. Créez votre compte et rejoignez la révolution de l'email! shml.me/app"
"Shortmail est bien plus fun avec des amis ou collègues. C'est aussi super pour des petites conversations groupées. Pourquoi ne pas inviter des amis?"
This is #french.

German:
"I just installed @Shortmail on my iPhone 4. Claim your account and join the email revolution! shml.me/app"
-> "Ich habe gerade @Shortmail auf meinem iPhone 4 installiert. Sichere dir deinen Account und nimm teil an der E-Mail-Revolution! shml.me/app"

Dutch: Ik heb net @Shortmail geïnstalleerd op mijn iPhone 4. Claim je account op shml.me/app om met de emailrevolutie mee te doen!
Shortmail is nog leuker met vrienden en collega's Het is ook fijn voor gesprekken voor kleine groepen. Waarom nodig je geen vrienden uit?

German:
"Shortmail is even more fun with friends and colleagues. And it's great for small group conversations. Why not invite some friends?"
-> "Shortmail macht mit Freunden und Kollegen noch mehr Spaß. Und ist hervorragend für Gruppen-Nachrichten geeignet. Warum nicht gleich ein paar Freunde einladen?"

Here's some French:

Je viens d'installer l'appli @shortmail sur mon iPhone4. Rejoignez la révolution de l'email et activer votre compte ici shml.me/app

Shortmail est encore plus sympa avec des amis. Et très efficace pour des conversations en petits groupes. Pourquoi ne pas inviter des amis ou des collègues ?

German goes here:

"Ich habe @shortmail gerade auf meinem iPhone 4 installiert. Fordere einen Konto an und nehme an der Email Revolution teil!"

"Shortmail macht mehr Spass wenn Du es zusammen mit Freunden und Kollegen benutzt. Und es ist grossartig um in kleinen Gruppen zu kommunizieren. Warum lädst Du nicht einfach ein paar Freunde ein?"

German:
"Ich habe gerade @Shortmail auf mein iPhone 4 installiert. Sicher dir deinen Namen und schließe dich der Email Revolution an! shml.me/app"
"Mit Freunden und Kollegen macht Shortmail sogar noch mehr Spaß. Und es ist super für kleine Gruppen Gespräche. Lade doch deine Freunde ein."

If any Germans have better suggestions feel free to correct. :)

This is Portuguese from Portugal (not Brazilian):

"Acabei de instalar o @Shortmail no meu iPhone4. Reclama a tua conta e junta-te à revolução do e-mail. shml.me/app"

"Shortmail é ainda mais divertido com amigos e colegas. E é óptimo para conversas de grupo pequenas. Porque não convidar alguns amigos?"

Dave, there are different ways to express the sentences in German ;)

But, @Acidham and @Patrick, what about grammar? :D

Whoops made a small mistake in my translation. Haha.
Dutch: "Ik heb net @Shortmail geïnstalleerd op mijn iPhone 4. Claim je account op shml.me/app en doe mee met de emailrevolutie!"
"Shortmail is nog leuker met vrienden en collega's. Het is ook geweldig voor gesprekken voor kleine groepen. Waarom nodig je geen vrienden uit?

@Florian, ok you are THE GERMAN of the evening :)

+1 for Florians translation with better Grammar!

Wow, this is fantastic, and fast! Thank you so much to everyone who's weighed in here! We're already putting these in our app!

How about these:
"Shortmail combines the best parts of text messaging, email, and Twitter to create a new way to communicate."
"With Shortmail, you can email anyone in the world. And anyone can email you, as long as it's under 500 characters."
"Shortmail is great for family and friends, sharing an email address with the public, and for group communication!"

Norwegian:

"Jeg har nettopp fått @Shortmail på min iPhone 4. Skaff deg en konto og bli med på epostrevolusjonen! shml.me/app"

"Shortmail er enda bedre når den brukes med venner og kollegaer. Og den er topp for små gruppesamtaler. Hvorfor ikke invitere noen venner?"

@Florian: I tried to keep the sentence under 140 characters (I assume they will be used in Twitter!?) and my German grammar is rusty. Guess that's what you get for living in non-German country for over 2 years. :D

@Florian, it's your turn ;)

"Shortmail combines the best parts of text messaging, email, and Twitter to create a new way to communicate."
-> "Shortmail verbindet das Beste aus Textnachricht, Mail und Twitter für eine neue Art zu kommunizieren."

"With Shortmail, you can email anyone in the world. And anyone can email you, as long as it's under 500 characters."
-> "Mit Shortmail kannst du jedem auf der Welt mailen. Und jeder kann dir schreiben, so lange die Mail weniger als 500 Zeichen hat."

-1 Florian ;)
"Shortmail combines the best parts of text messaging, email, and Twitter to create a new way to communicate."
"Shortmail verbindet das Beste aus Textnachricht, Mail und Twitter um auf neue Art und Weise zu kommunizieren."

"Shortmail is great for family and friends, sharing an email address with the public, and for group communication!"
-> "Shortmail ist hervorragend für Familie und Freunde, um E-Mail-Adressen mit der Öffentlichkeit zu teilen und für Gruppenkommunikation."

FRENCH
• "Shortmail combine les meilleures parties de la messagerie texte, de l'email et de Twitter pour créer une nouvelle façon de communiquer."
• "Avec Shortmail, vous pouvez envoyer un email à n'importe qui dans le monde. Et n'importe qui peut vous répondre, pour peu que le message fasse moins de 500 caractères."
• "Shortmail est super pour la famille et les amis, rendre une adresse email publique et pour les communications de groupe!"

@Acidham: I'm not perfect, but thanks anyway ;)

@Patrick: Good point to keep it under 140 chars. Dave, do you need the sentences that short?
@Patrick: I can understand that your German gets rusty after that time. Wish I could live abroad as well ...

More Norwegian:
"Shortmail kombinerer det beste fra tekstmeldinger, epost og Twitter og er en ny måte å kommunisere på."
"Med Shortmail kan du sende epost til alle i verden, og de kan sende korte eposter til deg (men bare 500 tegn)."
"Shortmail is topp for familie og venner, som en offentlig epostadresse og for gruppesamtaler!"

PS: Why not just use an application like 99translations.com or webtranslateit.com

Spanish (I think it will work for most Spanish speaking countries, "Hispano parlantes" feel free to provide a better translation)

"Acabo de instalar @Shortmail en mi iPhone 4. Reclama tu cuenta y únete a la revolución del correo electrónico! shml.me/app"

"Shortmail es aún más divertido con amigos y colegas. Y es ideal para conversaciones de pequeños grupos. ¿Por qué no invitar a amigos?"

Portuguese
"Acabei de instalar @Shortmail no meu iPhone 4. Crie a sua conta e junte-se à revolução do email! shml.me/app"

Spanish

"Shortmail combina lo mejor de la mensajería de texto, correo electrónico y Twitter para crear una nueva forma de comunicarse."
"Con Shortmail, puedes enviar mensajes a cualquiera en el mundo. Y cualquiera puede enviarte mensajes a ti, mientras que tengan menos de 500 caracteres."
"Shortmail es ideal para la familia y los amigos, que comparten una dirección de correo electrónico con el público; y para la comunicación en grupo!"

"Shortmail é ótimo para família e amigos, partilhar um endereço email público e para comunicar com grupos!"

This is fantastic! I had no idea if this experiment would work! Seems like we'll be done in no time!

To keep track of everyone's contributions and to be sure we are 'matrix complete,' I setup an open Google spreadsheet. docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmPJ9cYTxex6dDRIbUhvZnNDbjJJQ3BvZ194eE5PeXc

I'll be adding a couple more strings to translate there and feel free to chime in with questions here.

Only the tweet is limited to 140 characters. Thanks again everyone!
