Hinweis der Redaktion
- Start by explaining why I think translation of social media is important, going to borrow some ideas
- Director of MIT Media Lab, gives a great TED talk in 2010. ”The infrastructures of a globalized world lead us to believe that we’re living in a flat, Friedmanesque world.”
- Note English speaking countries consume more media from one another
- Technoliberalism, rose-tinted view of internet and “democratization”
- Twitter has 550 million users. Multilingual space – majority of English content ended in 2009
- Twitter a different space in different languages.
- Machine Translation limited but communicative for web content. Generally horrible for social media.
