Feb 28th - Carnival of Blog Translation
No-one described me as "rash" in the Johari window, but look how quickly things get out of control.
I made a suggestion for a session on bilingual blogging at BlogHer in July, which, within a week has sparked off a blog translation carnival from Liz Henry and aspirations for getting Google sponsorship for a one day workshop somewhere round San Jose, California with an IRC going in several languages!
Anyway the blog carnival sounds interesting and this is how to join in, if you want to translate:
1. On the day of the Carnival (28th Fev, fériado por acaso) you translate one post by another blogger, and post it on your own blog with a link to the original.
2. Email Liz Henry with the info. who will compile one big post on the day of the Carnival with links to all the participants.
3. You can translate any blog entry that was posted in the month of February 2006. It can be your own blog entry, if you like.
The info. Liz needs is:
Liz also points out:
"You should get permission from the person you're translating to post your translation of their work. I would also suggest that you might introduce your translation for the target-language audience, and provide some context if you can."
