There are a few other related specialty groups on the site, eg for Bahasa and Hindi translators.
On all these groups are also files related to various guidelines for contributing (mainly translations) to our site.

CatsCradle:
CatsCradle is a software programme that helps you to translate from web page to web page. It is not a mechanical translator. It puts the text of a web page into a box, and you type its translation into another box.
It then looks after all the tags with controls and commands so the result is the same web page but in your language of choice. CC 3.5 allows you to translate into languages with non Latin characters, and those that write from right to left.
Download CatsCradle in http://www.tucows.com/preview/306058
Mac users try the following:

OmegaT:
OmegaT is another program similar to CatsCradle, but in this case Mac users can enjoy its glossary and translation memory (CC's version for Mac OS doesn't have these features). There is also a version for Linux.
OmegaT is an open source software. It has very interesting features, so if you are considering to become a professional translator, this might be the best CAT tool for you.
You can download OmegaT from its website: http://www.omegat.org/.
RTL (Right To Left) Languages:
Arabic, Urdu, Pashto, Sindhi use different characters, not found on a standard keyboard. To modify your keyboard, click on the link below and download the file to your computer:

Videa:
The Victoria International Development Education Society (VIDEA), is locally affiliated with our Community Empowerment Collective.
It is a good source of information and material about international development, and it does not soft sell any hard issues.

Aid Workers Network:
Many of the questions you may be tempted to send to us would best be posted in a forum on the AWN site. You can post your questions or look at the many FAQ files of most commonly asked questions.

United Nations Volunteers' Online Volunteers:
United Nations Volunteers (UNV) online volunteer (OV) web site. It is run by UN, and recruits unpaid volunteers to help with NGOs' web sites. It does not recruit United Nations staff (UNV paid staff).
We recruit most of our translators and other contributors for our site there. It is necessary to be a registered organization in order to sign up for their help. Individuals wishing to contribute on line are encouraged to look at some of the interesting assignments.

Akan Studies:
The Akan studies site provides material, with lots of illustrations, about the Akan people of West Africa, especially the Kwawu.
The material was collected while I (Phil) was working on my PhD at the University of Ghana, and while I was also involved in local community development activities.

The Ghana Page is a valuable site for up to date information on Ghana. It complements the material on our Akan Studies site.
