    Can we use another language not listed in the TOS if a translation is available also?

    Can I create a german website as long as the site is also in English? I want to create a german website for an Alternate Reality Game. I am planning on including solutions to the game. The solution will have the german website in english. I am planning on creating the english website first, then translating the website into german using Babelfish. The translating the site using Babelfish will be done not using a web server. Two versions of the site will be available. One in English and one in German. Is this breaking the TOS? If it is, then i will host the german website elsewhere. I have several web accounts on different websites.

    Websites must be in either English, Spanish, or French. Your website may be in another language if you provide an easy to find word for word translation. Automatic translations such as Babelfish or Google translate or not acceptable for the translation rule.

    So, I am assuming putting both links on the official Wolfenstein Experience page will be ok? One in German and one in English? I am still planning on creating the English version first. You will be able to view both the English version of the site and the German on the official Wolfenstein Experience page. They will be beside each other. One will say German and one will say solution in English. I am planning on doing this with a website created in Enigma Machine text also. The solutions will be available online for that as well. Is this still breaking the TOS? When you say word for word translation, do you mean babelfish is not an acceptable english to german translator and you do not want english to german websites created here using babelfish?

    It needs to be a manual translation, word for word into one of the supported languages (English, Spanish or French). Any other language needs a translation. As long as both language versions are accessible to anyone reviewing your site, it should be okay. They do not have to be literally side by side, a link saying "English version" or what not will do.
