GLOBAL – Nokia first teamed up with the folks at TED for Pangea day, but now the ambitions are stretching much further. The TED Open Translation Project brings TEDTalks to a wider world, using subtitles and translated transcripts. With over 300 translations covering 40 languages completed by 200 volunteer translators for launch, the project has already got off to a brilliant start.
GLOBAL – Nokia and TED are far from strangers when it comes to collaboration, first teaming up around the Pangea Day events back in May 2008. If you’re new to TED (which stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design), it’s a fantastic organization that for 25 years has been delivering, in its own words, “Inspired talks by the world’s leading thinkers and doers”. In recent years these talks have gained a global audience of tens of millions thanks to the TED website, which freely hosts these hugely interesting presentations. We’re big fans, so it’s great to discover that Nokia and TED are cracking out an even bigger tube of collaborative glue, working together this year on an ambitious new TED Translated project powered by crowd-sourcing, and the fresh TED Fellows program.
