Translating the metadata of the World Digital Library

The Library of Congress is arranging for the metadata of the OA World Digital Library to be translated into seven languages.  The contract went to Lingotek.  For more detail, see the March 10 press release.

PS:  Read the press release.  Lingotek isn't just a group of translators.  It's a "collaborative translation platform" harnessing the power of a social network of translators.  Also see our past posts on the WDL.
