I wasn't active for a very long time, thought i'd better say that i'm available to help again.

I've applied for librarian but I don't think it's been approved yet (although I show up as #5 librarian in Portugal), because I can't edit or combine books.
I'll be glad to help with questions from other librarians, mainly with issues about portuguese editions or authors.

Italian, Spanish - conversational
Dutch, Japanese - basic
For cases where the question is just what's written there: I can read Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic and Hebrew script, but don't actually speak the languages (yet).

I'm native speaker in portuguese. I'm aware of the differences in the manner in Portugal & the brazilian way, the same can apply as I understand, british english and american.
I also fluent in Norwegian.
I can manege to survive in french, spanish, italian, swedish & danish. Good to use that skills in parties :D

I am fluent in Russian, too, and I can also help with French, German, Spanish and Italian editions, though my knowledge is basic only. If we have any Esperanto books, it's OK for me, too.
