I have no more really the time to update this list. Anybody wants to take charge of it ? Best being to create a new forum.

I'll have a shot at taking it up if no-one has any objections. :)

I've written a small program in the last few hours to help out with keeping this updated (and making it take less time) - all it does is handle formatting but if anyone sees anything unexpected, just say. :)

Hello!

I can speak languages besides English, namely Japanese.  I would have other languages registered but currently we are working to localize my game into Japanese first and I think that is the only other language currently on my AppHub profile, so I'm happy to help others by reviewing or playtesting games in Japanese.

My current game, Fawnix (http://catalog.create.msdn.com/en-US/GameDetails.aspx?catalogEntryId=bc57b771-c0ef-4287-914b-dd192c5ea938&type=1 ), is in Peer Review and in need of reviewers that have non-English languages in their AppHub profile.  So it requires German, French, Spanish and Italian reviewers for Description only.

Thank you!

David Boudreau

Hi Richard- Much thanks for the mention!  However, I actually pulled my game and only selected English and Japanese, and my game is now on the Marketplace.  (I think it would have likely timed out in Peer Review if I did not do so.)  I really think the whole "description" thing really needs to be changed (or at least clarified before devs click Submit because there's no way to know what they're getting themselves into if they describe their game in each langauge).  So to be good to other games/reviewers' time, please take a look at some of the other games needing language help instead of mine.  Also if anyone needs a Japanese speaker to review your game, I'll probably be able to help you out.

Hi Richard- Much thanks for the mention!  However, I actually pulled my game and only selected English and Japanese, and my game is now on the Marketplace.  (I think it would have likely timed out in Peer Review if I did not do so.)

Hi! My post was initially written on July 6 [before your first post] but due to the number of links in it, it got trapped in the spam filter which is why it's only appeared just now. So it should have reflected the languages you had marked when the post was written - if not, I apologise, I must've made a mistake. :)

I'm looking at ways I can modify the program I use for formatting to reduce the number of links in each post so that they aren't caught by the spam filter. This'd make the updates come out more promptly and mean that it wouldn't add to the MVPs' workload.

Also, there should be a new update either later tonight or in the next few days - it's been a rough few weeks so I've been mostly absent from the forums until recently but I'm now eager to get back to business. :)
