Trying to bridge big gaps

I’m gearing up to try and solve a really really big challenge in our online existence. Most of us speak a single language, myself included (although I can kinda hang en espanol). I’ve seen many thought provoking posts (mostly images) from folks in Iran and elsewhere who speak Farsi and similar Arabic languages.

It pains me not to be able to communicate with these people directly. Through some ideas I had over a year ago, I am renewing my attempt to tackle this difficult challenge.

Please check back for status updates. Our first project is http://ytranslate.us. This is some exciting shiny new semantic web tech y’all. Stay tuned.
