| Many of the questions
you may be tempted to send to us would best be posted in a forum on the
AWN site. |

at the many FAQ files of most commonly asked questions. |

| We have several discussion groups for this
site. |
.
| Community workers, students,
academics and friends of the site are encouraged to sign up for the Community
Strengthening forum. This is a good place to debate issues and to meet
like minded people |
. |
Contributors are encouraged to sign
up for the Mobilizers group. Use it for asking and answering questions,
and for sharing observations. This discussion is mainly technical and for
members only. |
.
| There are a few other
related specialty groups on the site, eg for Bahasa
and Hindi
translators. |
. |
On all these groups are also files
related to various guidelines for contributing (mainly translations) to
our site. |
.

..
| CatsCradle is a software
programme that helps you to translate from web page to web page. It is
not a mechanical translator. It puts the text of a web page into a box,
and you type its translation into another box. |
. |
It then looks after all the tags
with controls and commands so the result is the same web page but in your
language of choice. CC 3.5 allows you to translate into languages
with non Latin characters, and those that write from right to left. |
.
..
If you are translating to a language
with a South Asian or right to left script, you will avoid the glitch of
your work being erased by getting versions 3.4. Go to
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mobilizers/,
sign in with your Yahoo login and password,
click on Files, and it's the second file called 'catscradle.exe.'
A link to the mobilizers Yahoo site (to set up your account) is also above.
