Swedish translations of "Top Ten Fasting Myths Debunked" and "The Truth About Alcohol, Fat Loss and Muscle Growth" are confirmed, as is a Dutch version of the former. I'll need to double-check with the Czech translation, so it'll be "unconfirmed" until further notice.
If you're interested in translating an article to put on your blog or forum, let me know. I'll be adding your translation to this post and notify people whenever a new translation is available.
My demands are:
1. That you do a decent job. It goes without saying that you can't just run it through "Google Translate" and hope to get a coherent article.
2. That you keep the hyperlinks intact.
3. That you link back to the original article.
4. That you notify me beforehand in case someone else who speaks your language got the same idea. Wouldn't want people to waste their time if someone else is working on the same translation.
5. I want to know where you plan on publishing it.
What are the benefits of translating an article? Well, first of all, it's a great way to drive traffic to your blog or forum.
But - most importantly - you'll be doing your part in the fight against broscience. And that, my friends, is doing the Universe a big favor that will yield good karma in all eternity :D

So, it's cool to translate your article in Greek, credit you and post it on my blog (which is in English but I'd make an exception to spread the good word)?
ReplyDeleteLol, Broscience.
ReplyDeleteGotta love some of the examples from urban dictionary

Norwegian version of 'Top Ten Fasting Myths Debunked"?
ReplyDeleteI voted....
ReplyDeleteYou forgot the norwegian translation: http://www.diskusjon.no/index.php?showtopic=1277128
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty awesome Martin!
ReplyDeletehi Martin!
ReplyDeletewhat about an italian translation? If you like I could make it,I am italian and I'm on leangains from july with huge results!
Martin, I'm just wondering how it is that you write so well in English.
ReplyDeleteYou're from Sweden, right? Is Swedish your first language? Did you learn English at a very young age, or do you have an American/Commonwealth parent or something? Of course I've heard that "everyone" in Scandinavia speaks English very well, but your English looks totally idiomatic to me; I don't think I'd ever guess it wasn't your first language (it wasn't, right?).
I ask these questions in admiration. I wish I could write/speak another language, or other languages, so well.

hi Martin, just a question: cant find that damm cottage cheese of yours in my country. so im just eating ricotta( low fat and regular, usually with a nice big steak) is that cheese ok? i read about it and apparently is the opposite of cottage, but then i see it has the same amount of cals and it looks kite similar if not the same. ? thanks. any alternatives?
ReplyDeletethis is what i have here

Rats
so i should go for a lower fat, lower sodium, higher protein cheese? what about this one?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.veronica.com.ar/site/producto.php?id_c=1%3E10%3E&id_p=22
has a bit more calories but this should be "slow digestive" ( not that i really need all this im doing 23 fast + one meal each day fine with ricotta btw XD)
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to translate some of your articles in Italian and post them on my just-started blog.
My focus will not be only IF, though.
More a no-nonsense, down-to-earth and ready-to-use approach to training, eating and performing well while staying healthy.
Best wishes
Cool!
ReplyDeleteBut really, who in Sweden or Norway don't know english?
LOL guess ricotta then, thanks and happy Thanksgivings to all!
ReplyDeletevoted, and congratulations. thats so cool everyone everywhere can read your stuff. youre gonna change/impact so many lives!
ReplyDeleteMartin, How come we cant see any comments on your post's now unless I click on it and it takes me to the blogger site??? Orinn
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI know that you're very busy, so I'll try to keep it short:
I follow the recommendations of stretching scientifically and because of this I circle my joints every morning and then I do some dynamic stretches with a total amount of about 90 repetitions. The whole procedure lasts for 5-10 min.
Would it be ok to fast during that time or should I eat some protein afterwards just to be sure? (Of course I eat at least 2g protein/kg BW and also a lot of fibers.)
I follow IF more because of the benefitial eating patterns. Eating a small amount of proteins in the morning would still allow me a lot of freedom later in the day, but I'd prefer fasting for 16 hours though, because of the (potentially) better nutrient timing.
can't wait till your book comes out.
greetings, Gregor
Martin, there are some interesting questiones at the leangains guide comments, please check them latter, I think the answers would be interesting for all of us.
ReplyDeletethanks
Hi Martin,
ReplyDeleteI've been following leangains protocol for 2 months now, and dicussing and sharing opinion about it on a French bodyweight training community.
In order to keep objectivity and make leangains fully understood, I justed posted today a translation of the leangains guide.
I will add hyper links later on, but I hope that would make people understand better the protocole and promote your work!
Cjeck it here: http://www.musculaction.com/forum/if-leangains-t72607.html
By the way, any date on the book's publication?
@Tuoa:
ReplyDeleteEpic fail. His name is Martin Berkhan, not David Berkhan.
Yep, pretty good...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the informated, I corrected it.
The translation should be close to Martin's message tough.
Lore Nzo,
ReplyDelete"what about an italian translation? If you like I could make it,I am italian and I'm on leangains from july with huge results!"
Sure, go ahead.
Anon,
"Martin, I'm just wondering how it is that you write so well in English.
You're from Sweden, right? Is Swedish your first language?"
Thanks. Yes, I'm a Swede and Swedish is my first language. I used to read English books from a very early age. I was a bit of a nerd and wanted to read fantasy/sci-fi books in their original format, since I thought the Swedish translations were exceedingly lame. I worked abroad, including NYC, during my years of modelling, which probably helped a bit. Furthermore, languages and writing has always been my strong suit.
Fredrik,
ReplyDelete"But really, who in Sweden or Norway don't know english?"
Seemingly more than you think, given the questions I see in regards to the Leangains approach on the Swedish forums.
Orinn,
"Martin, How come we cant see any comments on your post's now unless I click on it and it takes me to the blogger site??? Orinn"
Not sure what you mean.
Tuoa,
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'll add the link to the post.
Bill,
ReplyDelete"So, it's cool to translate your article in Greek, credit you and post it on my blog (which is in English but I'd make an exception to spread the good word)? "
Yes, of course. Let me know when it's up.
you are the best Martin, just keep working!
ReplyDeleteHow would an EC stack + intermittent fasting work?
ReplyDeleteMartin, do you know what level of intake protein starts to have negative effects? 5g/kg?
ReplyDeleteHi Martin, the New York Times today has an article about a study on the benefits of exercising in a fasted state
ReplyDeletehttp://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/12/15/phys-ed-the-benefits-of-exercising-before-breakfast/?src=twt&twt=nytimeshealth
Though they are late to the party, it looks like they are catching on.
Martin, I'll do the translation for pt-BR.
ReplyDeleteIt's all right?
Martin, there is Finnish language translate guide for Leangains.
ReplyDeletehttp://terveeksi.blogspot.com/2011/01/leangains.html
I know many Finland people which are completing your Leangains guide
Hope this Finish translate be helpful!
P.S
ReplyDeleteEarlier Finnish leangains guide is removed by blog moving.

When an italian translation?
ReplyDeleteHi I have an italian translation of the leangains guide ready....where can I send it to you?
ReplyDeleteNice post.I'll be waiting for the professional czech translation if it becomes available.Any further notice?
ReplyDeleteMartin, I really want to translate your articles in Russian! There is a huge fitness community (with plethora of bros) that desperately needs information. I would like to start with most popular ones and, if time allows me, would like to translate more when possible. I have a fitness-blog in Russian and have a very decent number of followers, mostly girls. As soon as I mentioned leangains.com, I have received a number of requests for translation. There is a huge number of Russian speaking fitness enthusiasts who would love to read. Hope to hear from you soon!
ReplyDeleteJulia
Nice post.The importance of a technical translation being accurate and efficient can indeed not be overstated. Especially in the ever faster moving world of globalized business, successful information and technology transfer within multinational businesses can make the difference between win or lose.
ReplyDeleteMartin, Polish translations are offline
