Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

Anybody can be elected.

But, once elected, does anybody receive the information and training to make informed decisions?

GoogleTranslate and democratic access to technology

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

This post is announce about an announce.

But if you do not care about my multilingual experiment, and want just to apply it to your own web-writing, be it personal or professional, go here.

First, when I wrote on August 5th that Multilingual online publishing – part 2 that from August 16th the posts would have been “GoogleTranslate Ready”- I lied.

On August 2nd, upon request from some Eastern European online friends in my “virtual village” (1100+ people scattered worldwide), I published a first example of my new Russian handwriting skills.

The lie? Because, from July 30th, I started a weekly multilingual blogging exercise (see at the bottom of this post for the list as of 2009-08-16).

Using GoogleTranslate.
