Vegan and hungry abroad - a multi-language booklet for travelling vegans.
Posted August 22nd, 2012 - 8:18 pm by  from Cairo, Egypt (Permalink)Hey! So I am a vegan from England who wants to do something with a project group of my friends. I have a project going now which is translating vegan dietary requirements into as many languages as possible, I will then put them all online to download for free by anyone who wants to use them. So far I have English, Chinese, Spanish, Latvian, Polish, French, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese and hopefully Dutch and Catalan are coming soon. If any of you are interested in helping translate it to your native language I would really appreciate it. Let me know and I will send you the English version however on this group I think most of you know what I am talking about! Kindest regards! Sarah
Posted August 23rd, 2012 - 12:29 am by  from Waterloo, Canada (Permalink)Hi Sarah, I am a freelance translator and I'd be interested in rendering the vegan dietary requirements into Turkish. Thank you.

Posted August 23rd, 2012 - 10:24 pm by  from Buenos Aires, Argentina (Permalink)i would love to help! I am a vegan cooker (donianaturalia.blogspot.com) travelling now to the north... my native lenguage is spanish, i think you got it already, but please send me the files (both spanish and english) to see, check, read for myself and share! Nice proyect! I was just thinking about making a group or joining an existing group which alouds me to work with my cooking while travelling. I have no money and going foward! so... i though i could offer to cook vegan meals at home to eat or freeze in some of this groups... Any ideas or links to share? Thanks!!! Jesica jesokete@yahoo.com
Posted August 24th, 2012 - 10:21 am by from Cairo, Egypt (Permalink)Hey everyone! Thank you for all the amazing offers of translation... Erik I know there is vegan passport but the book costs either £6 or £8 in the uk and to be honest I would rather do something that all can use for free, that was made with the intention to be free... I am going away for the weekend and my internet doesn't work at home (using cafe) so will email everyone with the text when I get back on monday. The idea of doing a pronoun citation audio thing is amazing too! If anyone has the time to do it please feel free and i will sort out getting it online, if anyone knows how to make an app (good idea but I am clueless!) let me know and I will try doing it! Sarah

Posted August 25th, 2012 - 4:00 pm by  from 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands (Permalink)Hey sarah, nice project! i don't know how much text it is, but if you still need a dutch translation of some text (or the person you had in mind needs some help) i can also take a look at it..

Posted August 28th, 2012 - 7:37 am by  from Ahmedabad, India (Permalink)hEY Sarah, Nice idea. May be i can help in translating in Gujarati & Hindi. Aashka Jacob.
Posted August 28th, 2012 - 12:06 pm by  from Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel (Permalink)Hey Sarah, this is a wonderful idea! I would love to translate to Hebrew. Actually, there's an amazing vegan awareness revolution going on here in Israel this year, much thanks to this interesting lecture that's gone viral here - the most viewed lecture *ever* on the internet in Israel! I highly recommend sharing it everywhere you can! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es6U00LMmC4 you can also choose subtitle language. Along with the strong vagabond israeli tendency, I think that booklet will come in very handy!
Posted August 28th, 2012 - 2:17 pm by from Langley, United States (Permalink)Thanks for the link. I've posted it to my facebook page. In Compassion, Cherie
Posted August 28th, 2012 - 8:49 pm by  from Gent, Belgium (Permalink)this is an amazing idea!! i would love to translate in dutch (if it hasn't been done yet)
Posted August 29th, 2012 - 12:10 pm by from Cairo, Egypt (Permalink)Hey everyone! Sorry for my absence! I have been away and then my internet stopped working! so the original text is something like this Hello, I am (or the group are) vegan and would like something to eat. Veganism is a diet and lifestyle that avoids using animal products in food, clothing, alcohol and cosmetics. People dedicate themselves to veganism for different reasons, with health benefits, animal rights, ecological concerns being some of them. We do eat; all fruits, vegetables, lentils, beans, rice, and grains. We eat pasta which is has no egg, cous-cous, we eat soups and meals with vegetable stock, vegetable and olive oils and coconut milk. We do not eat meat (beef, chicken, pork or any other animal), fish, meat stock (as used in soups), milk (from any animal), eggs, butter, cheese, lactose, shellac, lard or animal fat, gelatin, or food with these products in, even in small amounts. Thank you for your time reading this and we really appreciate any food you can prepare. ___________________________________________________________ So thank you to all who have taken this one step farther! The page for the texts is a brilliant idea and so is the audio clips. As for what I intended, I think Tim.S sums it up - I just wanted to do something that was intended to be free, it wasn't really intended to be a better version of VP just not relying on downloading something via torrents or whatever. However now with the audio clips it seems to have taken a collectively owned direction and that is awesome! My sincere thanks to all the are taking part - I will put the languages people sent me on the page when my internet behaves itself! Sarah

Posted August 29th, 2012 - 11:06 pm by from Gent, Belgium (Permalink)IN DUTCH: Hallo, Ik ben (of wij zijn) veganistisch en zouden graag iets eten. Veganisme is een dieet/voedingswijze en manier van leven waarbij men het gebruik van dierlijke producten vermijdt in voeding, kleding, alcohol en cosmetica. De redenen hiervoor zijn uiteenlopend: dierenrechten, gezondheidsredenen en ecologische redenen zijn er enkele voorbeelden van. Wat we wel eten zijn vruchten, groenten, linzen, bonen, rijst en granen. We eten pasta waarin geen ei verwerkt is, couscous, soepen en maaltijden met groentenbouillon, plantaardige olieën en kokosmelk. We eten geen vlees (rund, kip, varken, vis en elk ander dier), dierlijke bouillon (die bijvoorbeeld gebruikt wordt in soep), melk (van elk dier), eieren, boter, kaas, lactose, schellak, reuzel en dierenvet, gelatine, of eten waarin voorgaande zijn verwerkt, zelfs in kleine hoeveelheden. Bedankt voor uw tijd dit te lezen. Wij zijn dankbaar voor elke maaltijd die u voor ons wil klaarmaken.

Veganismus ist eine Ernährungsweise und ein Lebensstil, der tierische Produkte vermeidet. Sei es in Lebensmitteln, Kleidung Alkohol oder Kosmetika.

Posted August 30th, 2012 - 9:45 am by from Suceava, Romania (Permalink)In Romanian Eu sunt vegan / noi suntem vegani / și am dori să luăm masa. Veganismul este o dietă și un stil de viață care evită produsele de origine animală atât în mâncare cât și în alte produse de consum, atât îmbrăcămintea, cât și alcolul si produsele cosmetice. Oamenii devin vegani din diferite motive cum ar fi un stil de viață sănătos, drepturilor animalelor sau din motive ecologice. Noi mâncăm: fructe, legume, linte, fasole, orez și cereale. Mâncăm paste care nu conțin ou, cous-cous, mâncăm supe și alte feluri de mâncare cu legume, ulei vegetal, ulei de măsline și lapte de cocos. Nu mâncăm carne( vită, găină, porc sau alte animale), pește, grăsimi animale ( ca cele găsite în supă ), lapte ( de la oricare animal ), ouă, unt, brânză, lactoză, rășină de origine animală, untură sau grăsime animală, gelatină sau mâncare care conține aceste produse chiar și în cantități mici. Mulțumesc frumos pentru timpul acordat și am fi recunoscători dacă ați putea prepara ceva de mâncare. |
