Low-tech Magazine in Spanish, French, and Other Languages

During the last months we have been working on transforming Low-tech Magazine into a multilingual publication. Many articles had been translated over the years, but they were not easy to find. Now, each language has its own solar powered main page.

The French and Spanish versions are the most complete for now, with respectively 73 and 47 articles online. Dutch, German, Polish, Italian, and Portuguese main pages are also available. Some languages also have articles that are not translated into English.

How to Access

Every language can be accessed by clicking on the large globe icon on the right side of the menu. There are also links to translations in the articles themselves.

Translators

Most articles have been translated by volunteers, whose names are mentioned just below the introduction of each article. If you are interested in doing translations, please get in touch. If it concerns a new language, we may also ask you to translate some site elements.

Newsletters

Several languages have their own e-mail newsletter: English, Spanish, French, and Dutch. Subscribers will receive a maximum of twelve e-mails per year. There’s a lot more content to add, so stay tuned.

How about we attempted to use machine-translation for first approximation and crowdsourcing for polishing the result? Idk over using Wiktionary/Wikipedia/wikisource like community and service? I'd think of solution where we don't put it into public domain but just lease it out for period of doing the service.
