Open Content, Open Translation: Multilingual Solutions

(Applying a multilingualism solution to the global strategy developed in Session 2)

This session looks at the relation of Open Content to Open Translation.

Using the experiences of the Global Voices team as case studies, this session will look at the challenges of working in the multilingual Internet both in terms of content and language. The session will also use time to work on creating useful tools and strategies for organisations who wish to translate or use translated content, and pair projects who have expertise and experience with those who need them.
