Project Euler Forum

Project Euler contains wonderful problems of very balanced difficulty. Sometimes I give these problems to high school students that I teach.

However, (for younger kids) I have to translate the statements into Russian, as they don't know English that well, especially mathematical terms.

So I think, is it possible to translate the entire site into other languages? I understand that the web-developers of the project have to do the whole internationalization-localization thing... Well, may be it's enough to translate only the problem statements.

I'm quite sure that there will be enough volunteers to translate the statements into many languages. I will be happy to do Russian.

I understand that this innovation needs major efforts to be implemented, however it will be also a major break-through in popularity and fame of Project Euler (which is deserved).

For the moment we are not able to handle any fuctional request that implies changing the workings of the main website or this forum.

However to respond to your message in detail:
-Every problem statement is made very carefully and the translation should be done by someone that understands the problem thoroughly.
-translating over 230 problem statements with a new problem every week is a major undertaking.
-In the past we have had young solvers, but hardly under 17 of age, with some very rare exceptions, hardly to be called younger kids.
-making translations for other languages might be a almost never ending task.
-every now and then slight edits are being made to the problem statements. They would have to be reflected in every translation.
-the forum, where much can be learned should stay in one language.

Would it be a suggestion that you start making some translations for the lower numbered problems, make it perfectly clear that they are only translations, and host them on a website of your own?
You are entitled to do so, as long as you follow the limitations set by our copyright.
For information about that see: http://projecteuler.net/index.php?section=copyright

The advantage would be that the persons you are referring to will be encouraged to read also the English version, improving on their language skills while moving on.
