Additional information

What are Open Translation tools and practices?

Open Translation practices rely on crowd sourcing, and are used for translating open resources such as TED talks and Wikipedia articles, and also in global blogging and citizen media projects such as Global Voices. There are many tools to help Open Translation practices, from Google translation tools to online dictionaries like Wordreference, or translation workflow tools like Transifex. We will explore some of these in the MOOC.
