It's still quite early days with devtome. I'm not sure what to say except that as a project started by english speakers it's going to take a while until there's enough of a trusted foreign language base to translate and check articles. As you can probably imagine people are quite hot on checking that other's aren't abusing the system with complete nonsense, effectively giving a growing foundation of accountability. Even then it's still sometimes necessary to delete/edit writings. That's just not possible in other languages until more non-english natives get involved.
I fully understand that it takes time for a community grows internationally. But I think the community Devcoin not pay enough attention to this point. It would encourage more translators doing more advertising and may be paying more (I do not know how you win a translation from an original text).
You could post your interest in the main devcoin thread for when more french speakers could be involved with you in the future? Otherwise, your write ok english - certainly much better than my french - devtome's not the encyclopaedia brittanica of perfect grammatical english so perhaps you could still write and get somebody to edit a little for submission? There's a writer who translates french to english (or could be anybody) there's maybe a deal to be made there with him until more people are involved?
Thank you this is a very good idea. But my main concern is to have more text to read in French. And there's thousands of interesting texts in English that are unaffordable for many people. Devtome is for readers, not for authors. It should attract a maximum number of readers, I think this is the best way to encourage new writers.
Of course it is obvious that translate English text into another language brings more readers than the reverse, but that does not mean we should neglect this aspect.
