[...] It was amazing to watch people meet each other at the Global Voices conference earlier this month – David Sasaki and Georgia Popplewell, for instance, who’ve become a dream team covering the Americas, but hadn’t met face to face before coming to London. (BTW, don’t miss David’s excellent recent post on translation and language…) [...]

Everyone who has volunteered should now be a member of the google group. If you're not, please let me know. Medea has already finished our first translation which I'll be posting on Global Voices in a couple hours. I'll also hopefully be posting the follow up to this post in a couple hours as well. Swervecurve, Expediency was definitely a problem when I was doing all the translations so this can only make things faster. In fact, after Medea volunteered to translate the first post, she got a great translation back to me in just a few hours. She did mention though that she struggled a tad with the Bolivian slang which brings up your other point. If an Argentinean asks a Mexican what diario he or she reads, the response would probably be something like, "what do you mean, what do I read daily?" I know that the folks behind Wiktionary are doing some work in etymology and common translation problems. I should probably get in touch with them. Did you ever hear the NPR piece by the guy who fed quotes from Hallmark Valentines Day cards into Google Translate and then re-translated those translations back into English? It was hilarious. Bobbo, Usually I'm lost when you quote movies (every other sentence), but that one rang true. Bottle Rocket = amazing. As does the word Jingoism, which I try to always slip into casual conversation. Though, I think it woulda been better suited for the next post. Sorry that Firefox is not playing nice. I'm on an early beta of WordPress 2.0 which is really weighted down with Javascript. I've been meaning to upgrade and hopefully will soon. Irasali, Bad translations used to be my pet peeve as well until I saw how bad my own were. It really is an art that would take a lifetime to master. A translator needs to be able to understand the heart of every concept which he/she is translating. Which means, I guess, that they need to understand everything in the world.

Me ofrezco a traducir del español al inglés (o viceversa) uno o dos artículos por mes (dependiendo de la extensión de los mismos) de cualquier temática. Espero de esta manera poder colaborar con la comunidad de bloggers mundial.

Saludos, Sonoman.X

I’d be willing to translate into spanish or english (or swedish if you need) I do have enough time to spare and I enjoy translating different stuff.
