FYI. This looks like a tremendous resource for language teachers. Assign fairly advanced students of English to seek out Web pages of importance to their language community, and have the English classes translate them to local languages. Solicit help from the diasporas around the world.
For example, resources in applying knowledge of tropical medicine to particular countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Information on sustainable renewable power systems that can be built and maintained locally. Microfinance information. and anything else that the local people find useful. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brian McConnell <[email protected]> Date: Sat, Feb 26, 2011 at 14:28 Subject: [FM Discuss] Der Mundo, crowd translation beta now live To: [email protected] Hi everyone, I wanted to let you know that we've started testing Der Mundo (www.dermundo.com). Der Mundo is a crowd translation tool. It works like tools such as Babelfish, you just enter a URL and can start translating. The difference is the focus on human translation. It also makes it easy to share translatable links, in the form www.dermundo.com/www.example.com so anyone who follows the link can also contribute translations, and can easily share translations to social media (we'll be adding some machine translation options in the next build, but the focus is on making it easy for people to create and curate high quality translations for interesting or important pages). If you'd like to test the service or spread the word, you can go to www.dermundo.com and get started. Thanks!
