Thank you TED! Jul 3, 2012

Thank you Krystian!

I watched the video and decided to open an account for my team.

Howver, it would be intersting to have a guide like "How to start translating" or "first time translator" in order to give the translator the possibility to start without searching where to find information.

Did I miss this guide? you could tell me...

Thank you again, your post triggered my interest to participate finally to this honorable effort!

thank you! Jul 4, 2012

Thank you for pointing out this great initiative!
I love TED talks (I use them often for my simultaneous interpreting practises) and I think it's a good opportunity for translators who are starting now!
