Translation Swarm Alert – Meedan
I’m trying to wrap my head around this: Meedan is a news site that translates from Arabic to English and back automatically using machine translation, with easy upgrade to human accuracy using a team of free-service translators. Now remember, we don’t call these folks “community translators” on my blog; they are “hobby translators.” But to give credit where credit is due, these guys have put their reputations on the line in a community designed to bridge the translation gap between Arabic and English – but not for money.
