Communication among peoples who speak different languages is necessary for hemispheric collaboration. How do we achieve it? That's part of the challenge. During our preparation, we spent more time discussing how to manage the translation than anything else. 19 17 20 Since we are writing a brief statement of goals, it is not enough to just get the general idea. Furthermore, without understanding the context of the discussion, it is easy to lose important meaning in the translation.18 Since we are writing a brief statement of goals, it is not enough to just get the general idea. Furthermore, without understanding the context of the discussion, it is easy to lose important meaning in the translation. 21 19 22 20 For these reasons, we are not relying on outside translators. All translation will happen by participants, both here and in New York. All translation will be open for critique and change. In short, a translation, just like an original proposal, will be evaluated, discussed, and edited as the group sees fit. 23 21 24 To help people who are monolingual, the web site contains a tool that will provide an automatic machine translation on request. Therefore, anytime you see text in a language you don't understand, you can request 25 an imperfect translation. Similarly, if you are proposing a right, you can optionally post, along with the right, a machine translation as a courtesy to others who might not speak your language. 22 To help people who are monolingual, the web site contains a tool that will provide an automatic machine translation on request.

However, we are all united in a goal of making a better world. And it is this goal, more than any technical skill or interest, that brings us together, not only here at this social forum, but on the Internet as well.34 Some of us participants in this workshop are very technically skilled, and some of us are relatively new to computers and the Internet. However, we are all united in a goal of making a better world. And it is this goal, more than any technical skill or interest, that brings us together, not only here at this social forum, but on the Internet as well. 38 35 39 36 At May First/People Link, when we study the Internet we don't see computers, wires, software, bits or bytes - instead we see a movement,over a billion strong, of people overcoming every conceivable obstacle to communicate, share, build and organize. 40 37 41 This Internet movement has the ideas and politics of the left embedded within it - from open protocols and free software - to it's autonomous and decentralized nature. It also has all the tensions, struggles, and 42 conflicts of any mass movement. And, like every other movement, it's future is undetermined. 38 This Internet movement has the ideas and politics of the left embedded within it - from open protocols and free software - to it's autonomous and decentralized nature.
