You may or may not know , but so far only two of us ( Gilles the QMC developper and myself Jean Louis doing most of the rest ) .

The two of us have been developping  & referencing this software, maintaining the website , the forum and all the other aspects that have finally brought it to your knowledge, bringing you this freeware is not only a costly  task,  but it is a very long and tedious one .

We have both invested a great deal of our free personal spare time and at the expense of our private lives.

As increasing success comes, even though  it feels really great to see that  we hit our main target and managed to make conversions simple and accessible to all with  the Quick Media Converter ( we thank you all very much for it), There is however a drawback resulting from that success,  as it globally requires even more time  and money  in order to keep on bringing you the best ,  some  nasty languages may think that our sponsors would provide us largely enough money to cover it all , but to make the record straight once and for all, commercial sponsors hardly pay enough to get  a couple of beers a day,  a lot of webmasters reading these lines are probably dying to agree with us and confirm it :) .

So far and since Planet Earth and our beloved Sun appeared in our Universe, days have unfortunately had only 24 hours,   therefore the crual reality is that in order to maintain Quick Media Converter as a freeware, we need to somehow involve our users in our  project, provided they  would be willing to participate and help on a volunteer basis.
  Gilles and I during our last brainstorming process, came up with a few ideas that would not take much of your time and could very well give us a lot more time to concentrate our efforts into bringing better and more new neat stuff we have currently baking in the oven.

Below is a list of what and how you could do to help us : 

• Translation volunteers for the Quick Media Converter and why not the website content

From our statistics , it clearly shows that our software is reaching the whole world,  unfortunately even though we speak a few languages, we are not good enough to use the proper terms or mucjh less  writing properly in most cases .

A lot of people do not understand  english and  french.  So we decided to provide our other foreign users with international languages.

After posting this request on the forum we had some nice guys that volunteered to translate in their native language.
 
In return of the translations of QMC, we offer to include the translator's name and website (or blog) link on the application interface (when displayed in their language).

So far allready working on the translations :

English (QMC)
French (QMC)
German  Andreas
Brazilian Portuguese Kallango
Chinese YuanXi  (UTF 8 Code Issue)
Spanish Hommaxsistemas

All other languages are still available for any volunteers caring for their fellow citizens .

Here are the most needed remaining languages :

Italian
Greek
Turkish
Dutch
Scandinavian Languages
Baltic Languages
Japanese
Indonesian

Arabic
Polish
Russian
Hebrew

Any other languages are welcome and will be carefully studied by us according to priories and feasability.

We will be very glad to answer you. Forum Link

• You do not have time but somehow you want to support us financially
  
  

A more than welcome solution is to do a  donation through paypal it will help us pay for needed further software development  and dedicated server hosting costs.

You can also find a donation button on your application "just click on it if you are in a good mood" may I try also in any mood ? :) We take advantage of this opportunity to thank all those who have already clicked on the button and this  in whatever mood they were :)                         As you will notice we have set three possible donations (5-10-15 Euros),ou may just select the one you want to do ( there is no obligation whatsoever).

Thank you all in advance for your generosity.
