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

[Kelley McGrath]

Thanks, Isabella! No worries--we all get busy and I've certainly dropped my share of balls (actually, we're currently involved in the middle of a rather-too-quickly-paced ILS migration at UO and I feel like I am dropping balls right and left these days). I appreciate all the contributions that you and the others have made.

Hi, Kelley,

I'm so sorry -- I have dropped the ball on the Arabic credits.  I got so busy all of a sudden!  I will start again this week, though.

Thanks,

Isabella Rowan

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
