Subject: Language Translation Request
There is an international cross-cultural linguistics project to translate
6 lines of nontechnical text into as many languages as possible.
We already have about 75 languages; given the strong interest in this project,
we want to expand what we have.
I've attached a list of commonly used languages we do not yet have.
If you can help us obtain a translation for any of them,
please respond to spiegel[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]bellcore.com.
For each language we want to obtain:
- A translation into the language's native script - printed carefully or typed
- A recording of someone saying the text (preferably a native)
- If possible, a transliteration for an English speaker
E-mail contact with translators is most convenient. We can help
by mailing cassetttes and mailers for those without workstations capable
of recording audio.
Thanking you in advance;
Murray Spiegel
