Content Management Systems (CMS)

[David Sasaki]

We use a blogging CMS, WordPress, to coordinate multilingual  
translations of blog posts from around the developing world. While  
this isn't language research, it could provide some interesting  
opportunities for researchers. For example, we recently launched the  
world's first Aymara language weblog and all of those posts are also  
translated into English and Spanish:

http://aymara.vocesbolivianas.org/

We also have many more multilingual translations using WordPress at http://lingua.globalvoicesonline.org

Best,

David
