Hi Kate and Heather This is a huge need and a key condition if we want to foster our impact in non English speaking countries: Haiti, Sen, Chad, Burundi, CAR, Togo, surely Burkina show how hard it is for people to make the best use of our English based materials, tools, blog posts, tweets, FB posts and reports.
Might be good to set up a hot chat on this topic and looks at platform to support this, as well as partners and communities likely to have an interest helping HOT in this area; for French and African languages we can get support by Direction de la Francophonie Numérique from Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie: I'll have a call in the next days to have the latest update on budget elements + implementation conditions for this support to happen. I'll get back on list then. Nicolas On Sun, Jul 7, 2013 at 3:15 PM, Heather Leson <[email protected]> wrote: > HI Kate, I've been talking with Translators without Borders.
