I could help. Maybe dktc too. I think he's pretty down-pat with Chinese.
Maybe I can't. :cry: I don't have what you say to have, but I know lots of Chinese. :cry:
-

dktc prepared that statement, but we want some pretty comfortable with Chinese. We will also be looking for other languages later.

你如何？
我猜你恨我。 :cry:
-
My problem is I don't "type" chinese, I "write" them. And using a touchpad (yes, a touchpad, as in one on a laptop...) to write into MS office isn't exactly efficient.
-
Oh. I'm just going to bring my talents somewhere else because it seems I'm not needed.
Oh, well. Good luck :)
-
真可惜，我未滿18歲。
-
Don't under-estimate us just because we're under 18. :roll:
-

Granted largely the job can get done but its when the maturity comes into play it makes a big difference. Also if I need to start getting staff members to sign contracts I have to follow Irish law in that regard and under 18 laws are quite restrictive in Ireland.

Then, I'll wait for 2-3 more years. :cry:
You can hold a spot open for me, right (but probably not for this) :?
-
I know some chinese, but I am not over 18.
Anyway, what use is asking for a glass of coke on here?
(Yi bei kekokele)
-
I'm not eligible but something I might want to mention.
Does "Chinese" mean "Cantonese" to cover the large number of HK players here or "Mandarin" to cater for players that come from other parts of China?
Hong Kong also uses "Traditional" chinese characters while the rest of China uses "Simplified".
-
I discussed that with Dex, so I asked him to prepare the release. I didn't proof read the Chinese release to see if it included the variation of Chinese due to obvious reasons.
-
Read the requirements (要求). It states that
Fluency in both Traditional Chinese and English. Knowledge of Simplified Chinese not required, but is an advantage. (Does not have to be first languages, but we reserve the rights to test your language skills during the application process)
流利繁體中文及英文,懂簡体中文者優先。 (毋須是母語 ,但我們保留測試申請者語言能力的權利 )
Cantonese or Mandarin (or even other dialects) don't really matter, as long as you know Traditional chinese characters. We don't speak on the forum, and communication between staff would be in English anyway :wink:
-
Ack, that's what happens after an insomniac spends 5 hours in lectures. I think I just ordered 1 plane too many as well.
Edit: Speeeeeeelling

So it's just another form of pronounciation? (Sorry for the ot, if its too terrible you could pm me)
-

Mandarin and Cantonese are the spoken languages, where as Traditional and Simplified are the written characters. There could be different combinations of those, like...
Mainland China = Mandarin, Simplified
Hong Kong, Macau = Cantonese, Traditional
Taiwan = Mandarin, Traditional.
Every regions have their own slangs that people from elsewhere may or may not understand (like being a native English speaker doesn't mean one would understand jokes about Texas :P )... but that is not really the point.
-
我可以..可是我已經applied for another position.. so..看你們的需要囉..~
繁體ok
简体ok
Cantonese就不懂了...
-
Hmmm..... maybe its time to download that 'chinese character pack' for IE.
Then I won't see endless little blocks :P
-
Well since its a forum position and not a game staff position, we might be able to relax the age limit if we do not get applicants. If we have to then it would not be leading to an ingame position.

Translation (for Stephen :P )
I am qualified, but I have already applied for another position... so...it is up to you and your needs.
I can do both Traditional and Simplified, but I don't know Cantonese.

Stephen, you dug yourself a deep hole. Nobody over 18 really want to apply. :lol:
-
Stephen, you dug yourself a deep hole. Nobody over 18 really want to apply. :lol:
That is not the point. Point is, we have a lot of immature players under 18 originating from Hong Kong, which unfortunately fits all the tangible requirements now that you have eliminated the age limit.

Can't type traditional for *vegetable*ake mushrooms, so I'm out anyways.
Nor am I 18.
I have final exams.
I don't have a sou sei ban, although I want to get one. How much are those things these days anyway?
I don't have any knowledge about the last round.
I can't communicate with people who BLOCK ME ON GOOGLE TALK! *cough*
I'm not fluent in Traditional.
I can't moderate either.
My name IS gizgiz.

我真係好想入，點解有admin未滿18歲都入到？例子：orange

I really want the line, why have admin under the age of 18 to have income? Examples: orange
^ That's what he said (best guess) :lol:
-
If orange means me, I'm over 18.
-
我真係好想入，點解有admin未滿18歲都入到？例子：orange
Stephen has explained that already. He is in the process of making AM a business (as in registered company) so he may need the staff to sign contracts. The only admin who is not yet 18 is DanielD. He was on board before Stephen's attempt at the business field.
Base on the laws of most countries, contracts signed by minors under 18 are disputable (if recognized at all). You wouldn't want your parents to co-sign for you right? :lol: The limitation of child labor is another factor to consider as well. (But then, we are not getting paid... so :? )
-
Just wondering.. why Chinese? Why not French? Why not Portuguese? Why not Dutch!?!
-
Just wondering.. why Chinese? Why not French? Why not Portuguese? Why not Dutch!?!
hmm... maybe because Hong Kong is the second largest player base in AM... (actually going to be the first with all those multi-accounts and feeders people create :roll: )
Stephen has plans to add in more languages, and is looking into the possibility of adding Spanish next. Chinese is just the first of many (hopefully).
-

Stephen says that the place with the most players is HK.

Next thing you know, it's Airline Mogul Entertainment, NYSE:AMEN!
-

Actually not as it would not be considered child labour. Child labour is when a child is working in a sweat shop making footballs, carpets or whatever, and are denied the chance of an education. Also work that put's the kid in danger, like construction, operating machinery or vehicles is forbidden, but there is no problem doing ordinary gardening work, administrative work or such.
Any labour performed by a child that is done voluntarely, and does not put the child to danger, with a decent salary is legal. Think paper boys, pop artists, actors etc...
Therefore, legally, hiring a person below 18 is OK from that point, and with the parents written permission there would be no problem at all, and parents are allowed to sign contracts on behalf of their children.
As I have understood though it's more about being sure there is a certain level of maturity in the business, and Daniel shows maturity (most of the time ;))
-
I didn't say it was illegal... just that hours of work is restraint and there is paperwork involved to establish AM is not a sweatshop, I think.
-

The Markets as they are in order of visits per month:
No.1 US (English & Spanish)
No.2 HongKong (English & Chinese [Insertwhatevervariationofchineseyoulikehere])
No.3 Brasil (Portuguese)
Spanish is the next language for support. After that we'll look at German or something along that line.

I see...
So is the chinese simplified or traditional?

Simplified is so much easier and more people use it..!
-

Simplified is not technically Chinese :P
Seriously though, the people who use it live in a under-develop market for AM. We do have plans in rolling that out, but because of the average English level in the Mainland China, we would need to make the game Chinese first. And also because of the potentially large number of players, we are waiting for multi-world to be set up before we go there.
-
Ok.. ill be on the world that the brokers are on :lol:
-

^^ Gets arrest by Hu.
Simplified is technically not a traditional form of written Chinese. It was believed that Chinese was too hard for many people, especially words with 64 strokes or more, so they decided to shorten it for "lazy people". Whereas traditional Chinese came about from pictures, like heiroglyphs, simplified came out really when certain powerful men in China said, ok, this word is now officially written in Chinese like this lazy ass character. Thus, simplified was born.
TO make things clear AGAIN:
* Mainland China, and most of the Western world uses SIMPLIFIED Chinese.
* Taiwan, HK, Macau, Singapore (I believe) use TRADITIONAL Chinese.
Most Chinese readers can read one fluently and the other, well, not too badly.

The "shorten for lazy people" version is just a politically correct version, but not the truth. The truth was due to the background of the communist party. They believed that knowledge is not important, and they themselves were not well educated. To make things easier, they change the harder words into simplified character. (ok... this is a shortened version of the truth, but at least it is the historical truth based on the hitorical background of modern China).

True, but politically very disturbing. I wouldn't want to be reading this page in China. It so bans ICP rules XD
-
Well.. I don't know about the other parts of China, but as a Taiwanese living in Shanghai for the past 10 years... I can take responsibility when I say this, most of the younger Shanghainese people are pretty comfortable with traditional Chinese, but yet, most of the people in Taiwan dun have a clue about simplified Chinese..

Irish tends to be Gaelic (or a variant thereof), at least from my conversations with Stephen. Irish could also be English, with Irish accents and word variations. English tends to fall into actual English, Canadian, American or Australian (or, a few other breakdowns therein like "Southern US").

Conas atá tú? How are you?
Tá mé go maith, go raibh maith agat. I am good thank you.
Irish is very different from English, its like comparing French with English etc.
