The Translanguage Project
Friday, April 23rd, 2010 byThe Translanguage Project is a new undertaking aiming to open up the media of particular cultures to the world. The common goal of the project is to systematically break down the language barriers of online art and culture for the common good of the people worldwide. TransDanish.com is a prototype site for the Translanguage Project which targets the Danish culture.
The Translanguage Project is a partner of Overstream.net and relies on our technology to add cross-language subtitles to videos.
The Translanguage Project is ready to expand to cover more languages and cultures, and is currently looking for volunteers to staff our sites and contribute overstream translations. If you feel excited about making a culture accessible to the world, this is the project for you. You will become a part of an international multilingual team and will collaborate with others to expand the Translanguage Project and organisation.
Ideally, you need to have mastery of international english and at least one other language, and have an interest in world culture and music, arts or comedy. You also need to be willing to contribute a few hours each week to the project.
If you are interested, please send an email to alexkierke@gmail.com and tell a little about yourself. You might be exactly the kind of person we are looking for!
