About the content, we can't be sure that the next "girafon" will be so
long... We don't even know when it is published:o
Zzagg,
You don't have a date for your next article? Don't worry, I'll tell you
soon.😄
The first issues had 28 pages each. Of course less events occur during
winter but I love reading so I'll try to find people to write articles
or I'll write long articles (sorry, my articles are probably a bit
long, I can't write short articles).
We try to publish the magazine maybe every 4 months. But since it is
free, we have no obligation. This is one of the reasons for a free
magazine. Another reason is we want everybody to have the opportunity
to read it, it's a way to develop the uni in FRance.
For the translation, it's going to be hard: this is the mag of the
FRench Federation, so made first of all for our members, talking about
what happens in FRance. Our goal is to develop the French Federation.
The tone of this magazine is really important because it represents the
"FRench Uni", a way of seing the things, with "french uni" humour...
The poem, the humoristic column, the editorial and lots of articles
will be very hard to translate. Without this way of writing, these
articles will probably be boring.
I'm not saying it is not possible, I'm saying it is hard and our goal
is not to write an international mag. But some people will, and I would
be glad to help them.
Nathan, yes, I know Kaskade. I used to read it when I was in the
"juggling world" because I hadn't found other unicyclists. I remember
Kaskade was having a hard time to find translators for the French
translation. It is, indeed, a great magazine. It's a professional and
international magazine, you pay for that (it was too expensive for me),
and you have professional articles.
We do not change anything (for the moment) in the articles we receive
except spelling and grammar mistakes.
In a way, I'll love to do that kind of work, translation, because, for
me, the sharing of experiences about uni between countries is very
important. But this is not my priority since there is so much work to
do before it for the French Federation.
However, on our forum, people are talking about it:

So maybe you'll find your translators

PS: Nathan, I realized with the Alps Tour article how difficult it is
to write a report without mistakes, specially when you're late and
writing in French about protagonists who are not French so they can't
pre-read your article. I wanted to check things about you but I was too
late. I hope it was correct (ask Jonh 😄 to be sure). Good to know you
plan to come to the Unicon! 🙂
