Olympics discussed across languages on Kontrib

To support the global nature of the Olympics, Language Weaver has added an Olympics page to www.kontrib.com so that users can discuss the upcoming event with others around the world, post interesting stories, and receive a global perspective of the event.

Kontrib is a multilingual social bookmarking website that allows users to submit, vote and comment on user-generated stories. The site adds a new twist to the social bookmarking marketplace by introducing automated/machine translation into other languages for the stories. The site’s ultimate goal is to foster communication on the internet by reducing the language barrier, thus allowing people from many cultures and languages to see each other’s news stories and opinions in their own local languages.

Kontrib currently supports content in Hindi, Romanian, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, Persian and Somali.
