- About Me:
- I've been translating for decades: at first mainly literary essays, since 98 mainly texts about the use of ICT in distance training.
Two things I am particularly interested in presently: collaborative translation using wikis or the wiki-like apps and collaborative subtitling.
As to the former, last December, I co-translated over 70 pages last year with two colleagues who live in Kinshasa, using Google Docs & Spreadsheets.
And as to the latter, I have been using both web apps like Mojiti or DotSub.com, and MAGpie to produce SMIL captioning files.
Other info about me in my Digital Divide Network profile and in my CV (in French).

TLAXCALA, The Translators’ Network for Linguistic Diversity

I haven't been to Japan yet (I'm planning a lightning trip for Feb 08, though!), so I guess it must have been an irremediable attraction to "the completely unknown" (not just the language but the culture itself, the tradition, the people). And oh, yes, now the more I know the more I love it. So addictive!
Regarding your name, I've always had French-speaking friends, so Claude does not sound weird to me at all (I actually like it! Makes me think of Debussy, maybe^^). However "Cruz" reminds me of a Spanish actress that I don't quite like... Besides who'd like to be called "cross" or "croix"??? I still go for Claude! :)
thanks for your comment
"Read you around"!
ps: I promise to "introduce myself" as soon as I'll have a little more time.

Now, I think we should do something about the DotSub embedding code. It's not working, only the French subtitles are visible. Maybe we should contact Ning management...
I answered you on your respective walls as the "Comment Back" feature wasn't working.

I would like to communicate with other translators like me.
Best regards!
Meanwhile, have you visited its companion blog (you can easily find the link on the Network's main page).
Bienvenue, Claude! Je suis sûr qu'on pourra travailler ensemble au développement de ce network. Il suffit de vous voir pour se rendre compte que vous êtes quelqu'un de bien :-)
Merci et encore une fois, soyez la bienvenue!
