The mission I think could be something around these ideas:
🗺️ Creating Community: Give non-native English Speakers a safe space to share ideas and collaborate, giving them tools for on-boarding more people to bDAO and web3, in a culturally diverse and friendly way.
🗣️ 🌐 Leveraging Talent: Attract Translator professionals and enthusiasts so we can learn from them how to spread our values and mission to our respective languages. Adopt AI tools, create and teach the best processes to make it easier to translate content.
⚔️ 📢 Recruit: Team up with the International Media Nodes to onboard more people interested in translating and creating web 3 contents in all languages! Help them recruit talent to operate and create new nodes. anaphant — 03/13/2023 3:05 PM
I'll share some ideas and stats that inspire me to not only keep Translators Guild alive, but to make it grow!!!
✍️ “The limits of my language online mean the limits of my world.”
📈 Interesting statistics about languages in the internet:
🗣️ Of the 7,000 existing living languages in the world, only a few hundred are recognized as being in use for Web pages on the World Wide Web. 🤏 90% of the internet websites represents only 11 languages. 🫗 50% of the world's population speak at least one of these 11 languages. Meaning there might be 50% of world population who are marginalized from the internet because of the languages they speak, not their access to the web.
🔝 60% of the top 10Million websites are in English. The other top languages are: Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Persian, French, German, Japanse, Vietnamese, Chinese and Portuguese (each with 5% or less of top internet websites, except Russian with an 8.5%)
🌐 Access to information: "The famous engine [Google] that recognises 30 European languages recognises only one African language and no indigenous American or Pacific languages." Wikipedia: 74% of concepts have articles in only one language and 95% of concepts are in fewer than six languages.
🐦 Social Media tells a similar story: On Twitter, although English is the most common language, an estimated 49% of tweets are in other languages, with Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese and Indonesian users the most active.
