I have a friend in Munich, she's got someone for me who's been publishing a very popular "out to lunch" blog, we're going to see if that won't work. Stand by. Bitte, warten...

There are some here...

But I'm stumbling trying to remember. There is a talented podcaster who is coming to Blogher who I think is German. Oi, spare me from my middle aged brain. It's creative but chaotic!

I'm TRYING!

I've just put a call out to find a sympatico German/English blogging partner. I don't know if I'll make it in time for this one, but I'm hoping to sound off in round three!

Thanks for your efforts.

What you all said

Please don't mistake my unresponsiveness for lack of interest. I want to read through all this again when I have a little more time and a little less distraction.

Next week, for sure.

What about Technorati ...

... as a potential sponsor?

Multilingual tagging

Bev Trayner — Fri, 17 Feb 2006 07:25:22 -0600

I think this is hot stuff! The issue of tagging is really exciting me. I'm focusing on it in my next case for the doc.

Yes! We could have an IRC channel going in English, Spanish and Portuguese! How cool would that be!!

I'd be up for a workshop the day before. I know your mum's great Nancy - but ten of us in the living room? How about the garden instead :-)

Great stuff here - loving

Nancy White — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 12:25:48 -0600

Great stuff here - loving it. I love the idea of a workshop format. One thing I suggested to Bev on Skype last night was maybe do a longer format workshop the day before, then bring our learnings to the Day 1 of Blogher. Hell, we could meet in my mother's living room! We could keep an IRC channel going and invite in other women from around the world as we go as well.

I wonder if any of the Valley high tech firms are interested in this softer side of multilingual issues. Maybe Yahoo or Google would sponsor us and fly Bev over too?

I like to think wildly...

And, oh hell I changed the post title and that made the link not work, but here's the new one - ALTAblog hosting the Carnival of Blog Translation.

We could structure it

Liz Henry — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 09:10:48 -0600

We could structure it however you want. And I like the idea of workshop - am picturing multilingual tag brainstorms?

I found I was using Technorati to find other-language blogs just by picking a likely tag in that language to search on.

another issue I've thought only a little about: when I take something I've written in English, and tag it in Spanish, is this bad? Is it diluting the Spanish tagosphere? Undermining it? I do it sometimes if I'm writing about translation or Spanish-speaking writers, but then worry it's misdirection, etc.

I have a problem with the no word

Bev Trayner — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 04:29:20 -0600

yeah yeah yeah ... great!

What is it we have to do?

:-)

Liz, the link to ALTA isn't working. Do I know what ALTA is?

Does a ROOO have to be run with a panel or can it be run like a workshop? I'd prefer a workshop type format myself. I'd be happy to co-lead, co-moderate either format.

At the same time I have to keep one eye on sponsorship (I can only come if I get some help with dollars). I'm more likely to get support from my own Institution if I say I'm presenting something on a panel than if I say I'm moderating one.

Oh, well, I'm not really very credentialled myself. I don't have to be on the panel or whatever, but am definitely interested in making it happen, so, whatever I can do to help that!

Is bi-blogging a potential ROYO?

Bev Trayner — Sun, 12 Feb 2006 07:04:05 -0600

My suggestion somewhere else for a ROYO was:
"Keeping a blog in more than one language is more than just a linguistic problem. There are a host of social, political and technical issues around posting, reading, writing, blogrolling and tagging in more than one language. I would like to explore some of these issues, share some of the practicalities, and move ahead with some ideas for designing for blogs and blogging in two languages."

Then, spurred on by a comment my post by Liz Henry and some back-channel with Pam I thought it would be interesting to do a pre-conference experiment in bilingual blogging in pairs. It could raise a load of questions and be an interesting lead-in for a ROYO session.

I'm wondering if it has potential for a ROYO session.
