Vietnamese language help needed
I previously mentioned a blogging guide the Global Voices project has produced to help people who, for whatever reason, need to blog anonymously. Global Voices co-founder Ethan Zuckerman drops into the comments to say they need help with translating the guide into Vietnamese,
the guide is available under Creative Commons attribution - if anyone wants to translate it into Vietnamese, they're more than welcome. And I'm looking for someone who might fund that translation - it's one of our priority languages right now...
Anyone who's been reading this blog for a while will know I'm a big fan of Global Voices. Over the years, I have also tried to encourage the Vietnamese blogger wannabes who have contacted me, but fear and paranoia exists about writing stuff online and for very good reasons. However,
If you can help translate this document into English or sponsor the translation work, drop me or Ethan a line.
Andrea, Kevin etc. know anyone who might be up for the task? Or any rich Viet Kieu willing to shell out a few bucks to get the job done? The latest appeal for a Vietnamese cyber dissident, Le Nguyen Sang, was scheduled to take place in Ho Chi Minh City earlier today. It's an ongoing story etc. etc. A translation of this guide could really help folk avoid getting arrested for something as simple as expressing an opinion.
