Hi Sabine,<br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
that is great news! What would you think about an article on<br>
<a href="http://dot.kde.org" target="_blank">dot.kde.org</a> to push this some more? Would you or someone else from<br>
your team be up for an interview?<br>
<br>
Promo peeps: Any takers? Would be awesome if one of you could prepare<br>
a few questions for Sabine and write a short article for the dot.<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Lydia<br>

<font color="#888888"></font></blockquote><div><br>Dear Lydia,<br><br>the best suited people for an interview for now are Outi Sane and me each of us caring about different aspects. <br><br>Over time we hope we will find people who will care in groups about specific language combinations, especially when the data then is being maintained with Ambaradan where collaboration will become easier. For now the conversion is still being done manually - this time from a google spreadsheet to csv to kvtml format. I already asked for help on the smalltalk list if they can help with a script for the data conversion that I can then easily adapt without having always to ask a programmer. I went for smalltalk because this is needed also for Ambaradan, so like so often we try to get multiple results out of one work done.<br>
<br>For several languages like Udmurt and Veps the vocabulary trainer will be among the first language learning applications available. Outi can tell you more about these languages since she did the organisational part of it. Her e-mail address: outi.sane [at] voxhumanitatis [dot] org. She also reads our translators list, so she will see this message. <br>
<br>Here a first article of her that refers to Parley: <a href="http://www.voxhumanitatis.org/content/2009-09-27-project-finno-ugric-languages-has-started-very-well">http://www.voxhumanitatis.org/content/2009-09-27-project-finno-ugric-languages-has-started-very-well</a><br>
<br>And this is the project page: <a href="http://www.voxhumanitatis.org/content/new-language-packages-parley">http://www.voxhumanitatis.org/content/new-language-packages-parley</a><br>It needs to be updated with the news of the last 3-5 days, but it can get you some basic view on what went on during the last two weeks :-)<br>
<br>Always considering less resourced languages: the translated wordlists can easily become the basis for spell checkers, dictionaries etc. For the mayor languages all this already exists, so for them it is really pure creation of "educational material" and starting points to then translate into less resourced languages.<br>
<br>Well yes, answering questions would be much easier.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Sabine<br></div></div>
