Flock the world

We now have spread Flock buttons in 10 localizations. The amazing thing is that people started combing the button directory, found the buttons and are using them today, before we even announced them. Wow, we have some dedicated Flockstars all over the world!

Here they are:

If you want spread Flock buttons in your language, here are the steps:

  1. Localize the spread Flock buttons
  2. Localize the spread Flock webpage text

Once you take those steps we will create the buttons, put the localized webpage together and annouce it here on the blog.

First of all, a note. I don't think you really should worry about italian translation of Flock buttons. Here in Italy, Flock is a "web 2.0" tool, and "web 2.0" is mostly an english-speaking issue. There is not a "italian web 2.0 glossary". There are few "web 2.0" italian services, and they usually keep the "web 2.0" english words - as "tag," "feed". Also traditional websites often use english words. I really think that Flock buttons are better if they are written in a correct english, rather than using a wrong italian translation.

So, I really hope nobody is using the italian buttons. They are totally wrong from a grammar/style point of view.

1) you don't use the "ottenere" verb when you talk about downloads, so replace "Ottenga Flock" with "Scarica Flock".

2) "Flock" is not a verb in italian, so replace "Io Flock" with "Io uso Flock" ("I use Flock").

3) "Sia un Flockstar" doesn't mean anything in italian. You may translate "become a flockstar" with "Diventa una Flockstar" but personally I think it sounds quite bad.

4) I don't know how translate "Join my Flock". For sure you cannot write "Unisca il mio Flock".
Usually, on italian websites the "join" word is not translated at all, or they use "Iscriviti" ("subscribe"), but I don't think this would be appropriate.

If you used automatic translators, please note that they work very bad with italian. Italian language has LOTS of deviant-behaviour words and phrases.

The problem is, there is not an italian Flock users community, so nobody told you how you have should do these buttons before, I guess.
I hope this helps. Keep up the good work! :)

I really like that "Flock the world!" button --- I was kinda surprised that it wasn't on the page with the other buttons. So please let me know when you include it so that I can use it on my blog instead of "Become a flockstar". Thanks :).

You can find it in the Argentinian Spanish spread Flock buttons.
