Hello folks,

Good day and I want to share an exciting news.

In Armenia, I talked about the internationalization and the importance of translation https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K3iqJTXH36UTLRltd-KLdiUE6Tg-2fk-bbq9pxE8TFA/edit?disco=AAAABTQnkwI. I think this is really a crucial part of the movement if we really want to make it a global and integrated one.

After I got back to Taiwan, a start up company of professional translation online service approach to our chapter. The company is called termsoup https://termsoup.com and they are providing very user friendly translation interface. The company is happy to provide its service of Wikipedia translators free of charge since the service itself benefit from the API of Wikipedia.

I am thinking about maybe we can set up a filtering process to a broad Wikipedia just like the TWL project that they deal with journal publishers to provide valuable user account access for Wikimedians who contribute, so can we incentivize professional translators to provide their service by providing them termsoup free for certain period account.

What do you think? Is translation service too far fetch to Education or it's a good idea?

I also forward this email to Amir, so he may provide his insight on this.

Best,
