The Babelforums are picking up pace with new topics and on-going active ones. The objective of the Babelforum is to allow Europeans to discuss European issues in their native language or in a language they feel comfortable in- other than English. Our mutilingual team in Brussels regularly skims through the different discussions and spreads interesting comments posted from one linguistic version to another. But we still need your linguistic skills to translate some of the topics, ideally in all 7 cafebabel.com languages. So if you're interested in getting involved as a moderator or translator, please contact me at v.witkowski@cafebabel.com.

In the meantime, take a look at all the topics waiting for you to share your thoughts, ideas, frustrations or support!

News to Babelians about Babel forums

By Did on Tuesday, July 24 2007, 13:11 - What's On

Hello Babelians!!!

What's up?

This is Diane from the e-community office.

First of all, thank you so much to all those who helped us translate the new generation of Babel Forums. Moritz, Marta, Stella, Natalia, Anna and more- it could not have been possible without you. You can have a sneak preview if you click here.

When exactly will they be launch? The forum is already accessible as you have seen but not yet public. That’s because we need to make it lively first. Your individual input will be extremely important. We count on you to make the forum lively, scandalous while informative!

The next step is to create a list of moderators and translators who will help animate the Babel Forums. If you would like to get involved, please send me or Vince an email at blog@cafebabel.com and we will provide the necessary tools for you to have special powers!

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best,

Diane
