Automatic Translation on TIGed class blogs
A few months ago, TakingITGlobal partnered with World Lingo to integrate their automatic translation tools into TIGblogs. Even though machine translations can't match the accuracy of human translators, this tool is still a great step toward connecting people across languages.

Many teachers have asked us about translation tools that help connect students who don't speak a shared language, so we're thrilled to be piloting this World Lingo auto-translator in the TIGed class blog tool. Starting today, when you post a blog entry to a TIGed classroom, the text can be translated into French, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese, Swedish, Russian, Dutch, and Arabic.

As always, we welcome your feedback and ideas on this new feature, and for improving the multilingual functions within TIGed overall.
