The videos can be embedded on GV site, or any other site for that matter. To see the possible impact of something like this, we just finished subtitling into 67 languages a film about Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank called “Banker to the Poor” in conjunction with Ashoka and his recent Nobel Peace Prize. Many of the languages were remote languages normally outside the mainstream of traditional media - you can see the list of languages at http://dotsub.com/yunus/banker when the film starts playing hit the pull down menu at the top of the player to see the list of languages. You can also see the film with our current player embedded at the Ashoka site, which is how I think it should look at Global Voices, at http://ashoka.org/100translations scroll down to “Banker to the Poor” - and once the film is playing, hit the up/down arrow at the bottom of the player to see it in all the languages. We would be very happy to start a pilot program with one or two videos and see what happens. Happy New year Ethan

In other countries, we neccesarily misrepresent the local conversation, showing off only a few people in the country who happen to be bilingual. He points us to a recent blog post titled “Africa, Global Voices y el anglocentrismo cool”, which argues that if you don’t speak English, you don’t show up on global voices. David’s looking for ways to turn critique like this into involvement - what would be involved with getting the author of this post to help translate GV into Spanish and translate Spanish posts on GV?

En un ambiente relajado, abierto y con humor fueron saliendo de todos los temas de preocupación. Debemos traducir los comentarios de los post que citamos? Debemos avisarles de que los estamos posteando y traducir el artículo? Como podemos llegar a mas lenguas? Hay límites éticos que probablemente solo se resuelvan por consenso. No hay otra manera, y no hay reglas. Es criterio y cuidado por el otro. Por no hacer daño, por no meterlo en problemas, para que no le bajen el blog, para que los blogeros puedan usar su nombre y no tener que usar seudónimos. Esto esta lejos de convivimos en Chile, pero en Asia central es un graaan tema. Medio oriente también, como en Egipto. [...] [...] Ayer fue el segundo día de reflexion del Global Voices.
