I just downloaded a perl script called linguaphile from sourceforge the other day, that translates between various languages, and got to thinking... There sure are a bunch of Return Missionaries that know other languages. I wonder how many of them are participating in any of the open source language translation projects or dictionaries. It seems like an ideal match to me. Plus certain words and phrases could be added to the dictionaries such as "Book of Mormon", "Plan of Salvation", and others. Also, if the church were to endorse one of dictionary formats, and then unleash a legion of Return Missionary translators, it might be a very good public relations thing for the church. I remember the genealogical records extraction program I did at BYU, and perhaps a similar program could be set up for RM translation. Does anyone know of any good open source projects or dictionary formats that the Church could endorse ?
