Hello Pau and the Language Engineering team,
I just noticed your email, Pau, so missed your presentation. Greetings
from the San Francisco Bay Area.
While I haven't looked at the YouTube video record yet, I would like
to inquire how to collaborate further with the Language Engineering
team.
I'm developing World University and School, which is like Wikipedia
with MIT OCW, with free, online, C.C., MIT-centric, university degrees
planned, in many languages, as well as wiki-schools for
people-to-people teaching in all 7,413+ languages and 204+ countries.
WUaS would like to develop an universal translator, building on
Wikipedia's 285 languages, as well as Google Translate, etc. The
beginning wiki subject page for this is here -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator - and
I'll add this video from yesterday as reference.
May I add you to WUaS's sporadic, email list?
Best regards,
Scott

The Language Engineering team is in the process
of redesigning the Translate
extension <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Translate>.
The Translate extension turns MediaWiki into a localisation platform, and
it is used in Meta-Wiki,
mediawiki.org and a few other Wikimedia wikis,
as well as other opensource projects, to make them available in multiple
languages.
We are planning to do a walkthrough for the latest revision of the designs
tomorrow.
Since the extension is used by many different projects and users, we want
to make this meeting open to get feedback from anyone interested.
So we welcome you to join us in the discussion:
*When.* Wednesday 27 of February at 8:30 PST (San Francisco), 16:30 UTC
(UK), 17:30 CET (most of Europe), and 22:00 IST (India).
*What.* During the meeting we'll discuss information from our design
specification<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Translate-workflow-…
and the current implementation available at
translatewiki.net<http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Transla…;tux=1>.
Feel free to take a look to the docs or try the new UI before the event.
*How* to participate. The event will be broadcasted using Google Hangouts
On Air, so that it can be seen live or accessed later. We'll share the URL
as the event approaches. The #mediawiki-i18n IRC channel will be used to
get questions from the audience.
If you are interested in entering the hangout for a face-to-face
participation, you can ping me and I'll send an invite as long as there are
free seats remaining.
Pau
