| Many
of the questions you may be tempted to send to us would best be posted
in a forum on the AWN site. |
. |
I
(Phil) am a member of the advisory panel of AWN. You can post your
questions or look at the many FAQ files of most commonly asked questions. |

| We have several discussion groups on 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, 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 avod 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.
