Would you mind doing the translation using the
google translate toolkit?
Its one powerful tool to use. Besides, by so doing, you can help put
dagbani on Google translate.
All you need to get started is here: https://*translate*.*google*.com/
*toolkit*
Unless Carl has recommended a specific translating tool to use, I'll
recommend the google translate toolkit.
I'm sure the anti google guys will be looking at me now, but hey, I've
tried it and it works. Forget about WHO made it.
If you'll need help in setting the translate toolkit, I'm glad to help
tomorrow.
I know
too but it gets to a point you might
need to pay something to get some features. Not very sure but you can give
that a spin too

I have received the first document for
translation and myself, Bawah
and Jaward would do justice to Dagbani. However since Dagbani is not on
Wikipedia yet as well as in the incubator I am not sure which space we
would use to do the translation. any ideas?
