Global Voices Lingua Project

@GlobalVoices stories feature people and experiences rarely seen in mainstream media, and our hundreds of volunteers translate them into dozens of languages.

“I’ve always seen #translation as a highly creative process...and allowing machines to do the heavy lifting will inevitably have an impact on quality. Plus, who wants to live in a world of dull, uninspiring, automated content?" -@FairLoc's Tina Julsgaard https://t.co/Q8MEOAlT3j

Linguist: So I notice that two out of three of you are using "trust" with an object that's an abstract noun. Engineer, would you say you could also get that construction?
