hi Evergreen folks,
informed myself and read a lot about EGC and I am on board. Really good project!
As some said before, more PR would be good - maybe Dev could write a request to
www.cryptocoin.cc which is a sister to
www.distrowatch.com (well known source for Linux+BSD distros)
All wallet updates would then be automatically listed there.
And I want to do some part to the EGC community and will better translate/correct the https://evergreencoin.org/de/
- sorry, but that page isn't written in german, it has been google-translated
So, Dev please write me a PM - to proceed.

Hello coinwide, welcome the the EverGreenCoin community.
I have contacted cryptocoin.cc requesting the addition of EverGreenCoin.
The website is automatically translated into many languages using a paid service. This service was selected and paid for by myself and community members. I have 20+ languages enabled presently. It is not google translated, hence no google branding, but sure it must rely on similar technology to do so. We need this type of on-the-fly translation for several reasons. Please allow me to explain.
First, content is being added and changed daily. I have a difficult time getting some translations of our ANN updated when we release a new wallet, let alone adding something new or updates on a more frequent basis. Making the website rely on a similar method of translation will yield similar results. Second, we have forums and other dynamic components that are translated. Manually translating these would be a nightmare and require copies of all the information to be maintained for every language we wanted to support. For content out of the dynamic sections of the website (forums, marketplace, hopefully soon the directory is less static, groups, various feeds) this would be a large task requiring many resources. For the dynamic ones, insurmountable and honestly impossible. Third, the website is translated into languages we do not yet have community members that speak the language. Of course we are trying to reach out to these markets and make them feel welcomed. Fourth, if we relied on community members to assist with the translations of the website, a task that may not even be possible for reasons stated here, many of them would not be in contact past the length of one price increase / decrease (aka pump and dump). Leaving myself or some other non-native speaking, or not speaking at all more often, person to do the translation manually using Google translate anyway.
For all the reasons I have stated here and ones I can't think of off the top of my head, statically translated pages just won't work. Undoubtedly it would create an immense, arguably infinite, amount of work and in time would result in even poorer translations or even worse, languages ignored or no ability to support languages in anything near a timely fashion.
I do realise automatic translations may result in poorer translations. I do feel it is the best option, perhaps the only realistic option, we presently have. Even statically translating the home page alone, allowing automatic for the rest, will suffer all the mentioned problems in a short time.
Thanks for bringing cryptocoin.cc to attention. I have contacted them and will let the community know of any addition of EverGreenCoin to their service. I am sure they will in time.
Again, welcome to EverGreenCoin! Thanks for your willingness to contribute!
