"Empowering Translators: From Freelancer to Entrepreneur"
TLAXCALA, The Translators’ Network for Linguistic Diversity
From Tlaxcala's Manifesto:
Tlaxcala, the network for linguistic diversity, was founded on December 2005 by a small group of cyberactivists who knew one another through Internet and discovered that they shared common interests, common dreams and common problems. The network quickly grew, has today 74 members, and translates into 13 languages. This Manifesto, approved by them all, expresses their common philosophy:
All languages of the world must, and do contribute to the brotherhood of mankind. Contrary to what many people used to believe, a language is not only a grammatical structure, a set of interconnected words, in agreement with a syntactic code, but also, and especially, a creation of meaning based upon our senses. Thus we observe, interpret and express our world from a specific personal, geographical and political context. Because of this, no language is neutral, and they all carry the “genetic code”, the imprint of the cultures to which they belong. (...)
