[OLAC-credits] Looking for ideas on where to look for more language help

[Kelley McGrath]

I have not. Are you on Slavlibs? Would you be willing to forward something for me? If not, I can find out if our Slavic librarian is on there.

Kelley, have you publicized the project on Slavlibs? I would think there would be some people there who know Georgian and Uzbek, at least.

Thank you to everybody who has been annotating--both the translators and those working in English. I have lots of data piled up that I need to analyze and that I think will provide interesting results.

There are still many languages where there are few or no people translating credits. I was wondering if anyone has ideas of lists or other places to post looking for people to help, such as lists for librarians/catalogers with language skills or for movie fans likely to have multilingual skills.

In terms of bigger language categories in my dataset, I don't have anyone currently working on Indonesian, Korean, Turkish or Urdu. There are also many less common languages, such as Georgian, Kurdish or Uzbek that could use translators.

It would also be nice to have more people working on the other languages, especially Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese.

Any ideas on where to ask for help?

Kelley
