When I first did read this idea I thought this would be a massive project. But more and more users sign in here so maybe it could be possible. So here my first thoughts (I don't want to edit the project page):

  • URL: www.tld.explainxkcd.com and tld.explainxkcd.com should be possible on the domain explainxkcd.com. An other idea is www.explainxkcd.com/tldwiki. So this would be www.explainxkcd.com/dewiki for Germany.
  • Direct translations are often not easy or just impossible. The pages should show the original content and explain the original text without a simple translation. Jokes not common to non US citizen must be be explained in more detail than in English.
  • It's a project for 2014, not this year.
  • I will do some attempts for the German language, The Doctor has to be explained, what the hell is Firefly, what is NSFW, ... Most Germans need an explanation for this, they just don't know. So I will focus on some more complex comics, but not now.
  • The comic itself should be the original because it helps people with a smaller knowledge on the English language.

Nice idea, but still a hard job.--Dgbrt (talk) 23:17, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
