The Church is trying an experiment with community-sourced (i.e. crowdsourcing) translation as a way to do routine translation work more quickly and at less cost.
If you or someone you know speaks Spanish or Portuguese (plus English) and would like to volunteer for this pilot program, please contact Michael Eckerdt for details.
This is volunteer work (no pay involved) and will last about a month (April to May). Unfortunately, not everyone who expresses an interest will be selected. Also, there’s no guarantee that the Church will move forward past the pilot, nor is there a guarantee that participants in the pilot will be given further assignments, either for pay or as a volunteer.
I think that those selected will find the work interesting and they’ll have the satisfaction of helping the Church see if there’s value in doing work this way.
