French Version:

dragonclaw has kindly taken much time to translate this entire guide into French. Currently, this version contains all sections that can be found in the original English version, but lacks the revisions done to other sections in the past.

 

Italian Version:

This version, translated by the user "dreamy" (you'll always be noobdreamer to me) should currently be up-to-date, besides the most recent English update.

 

Russian Version:

This version of the guide was recently translated by the user Leopold, of his own accord. Much thanks to him for the hard work.

 

 

For all the non-English versions of the guide, note the date of creation in comparison to the latest update of the English version. I will not tell you every time one of the versions is not completely up to date. You can figure that out yourself. If it was not up-to-date when it was posted, I will let you know as I did the French version.

 

For those of you who want to translate this guide:

Don't.

At least not yet. I should have made serious note of this earlier, but I intend to do some major revisions to this guide, such that any translation done now would be severely outdated by the time I'm finished.

On top of that, there is also a possibility that this guide may be taken down altogether.

 

 

As always, let me know what you think, and if there are any sections you'd like to see added.

 

It's worth noting that I still plan to reword/revise some of the paragraphs. I feel like I didn't get my point across as eloquently as possible. But until then, make do with my rough-draft wording.

We'll try and do a Spanish version of this if we ever get some time for it. In our opinion, this is a very nice guide.

Seems like your guide is good enough for translation to several languages, Kiahdaj!

 

As promised here's the translation to italian:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6as4c2mEbxFdjUzRi03ZFZSREE/edit?usp=sharing

 

It's not 100% finished yet (the translations of the links are missing and it abruptly stops halfway through the personality step), but the first parts are done.

I consider them the most important ones to translate anyway since the warnings you give there do not (at least for me) sound as important if they are not in my native language, so to foreign readers the seriousness of that is probably not as it should be.

 

I'll probably have it complete for mid-end august. (20th?)

You have got a fantastic idea. Those translations can make life better for – in this case – italian people interested in tulpa phenomenon but that don't possess a decent basic knowledge of the english language.

 

Apart some grammatical error and "spartan" passage (check them, as soon as you can), however, that's a nice work.

I have a (I think) decent knowledge of english, but it's still nice to read about something as personal and emotional as a tulpa in my native language. (As opposed to something cold and impersonal like computers where I prefer english)

Thanks for the feedback!

I'll proofread as soon as I'm done translating it as a whole. I'll should get the gender the same for the entire text, too, since I switch it sometimes (English is easier, there's no gender in "the")

If you truly wish to, I would be happy to add it. However, please do think about the number of spanish speakers here, who do not understand English very well. If the number is not very high, then it may be best to not do it. Two translations is already more than I expected it to have.

And also, before you use this as a reason, I never want the tulpa phenomenon to become widespread. So I don't want to be responsible for introducing it to a primarily Spanish community. So keep that in mind.

But if you really want to, or have nothing better to do, and truly believe that your Spanish skills are proficient enough to preserve the intent of my words, then go ahead.

Thank you, dreamy. I have added it to the main post. I'll be looking forward to the finishing of the guide.

There are actually quite a few Spanish speakers who have come on the IRC and ask questions-- since they can't read any of the website whatsoever. And, of course, almost none of their questions get answered because no one can understand them.

 

It would at least be good for the lot of them to have at least one guide from the forum to have; they honestly don't have a lot of information in their area.

[Kiahdaj]

Well, as I said, if you wish to, then go ahead.

Unless of course you are not proficient enough in Spanish. In which case, I'd rather it not be done at all.

I'll just post a sample here:

 

 

Ademas, mas o menos para novatos, te sugiero que leas la toda guía antes de en empiezas a crear tu Tulpa. La razón es que hay mucho parte de referencia cruzada, y porque algunos aspectos importante de la proceso de la creación del Tulpa que no se discute hasta más tarde, pero todavía son muy importante para saber.

 

Ahora, sin más preámbulos, vamos a empezar.

 

(Nota: quizás notes que algunas veces yo digo <<él>> cuando me refiero a una situación hipotética sobre tu Tulpa. Eso es porque mi tulpa es un hombre, y no siempre me atrapo a mi mismo cuando lo digo, por mi costumbre.

[dragonclaw]

Shoot, I havn't the exclusivity anymore x)

 

When reading all the messages, I was wondering : why does this guide feels for so much people one of the best ?

 

Must be something...

[Kiahdaj]

I'm just rolling with it
