The UFO-Alien Applied Linguistics Registry, page

Hello ATS,

It is my belief, that we may be missing out on valuable details and information released by foreign media outlets. I became aware of the need for "ATS translators" after reading this thead, and more specifically, this article. Some UFO cases are difficult to follow when much of the literature is in another language. The list would serve as a point of reference for when translation support is sought. All members with foreign language abilities are encouraged to register. Priority would be to Russian, Chinese and Japanese because in those languages there are more cases.

If the ATS admin jump in, I would even suggest an "ATS Linguist" badge to really encourage participation and quality.

Anyways, if you would like to put your name on the list, maybe we can put this internet thing to (continued) good use! Please list the language(s) you can translate and how you became proficient in it/them.

You can go to translate.google.com... to translate websites. I don't know about pdf files though. It would be great if someone could transcribe some videos for deaf people

Yes the pdf's are the problem.

We are aware of automatic translators, thank you though:
this is not what this thread is about.
What we need is an ACTUAL knowledge of a language, a list of members who speak a language, and available to make actual translations when needed;
if we need to know something about some news, then we CANNOT base a serious research to an automatic translator.

Yeah I understand. I actually thought of this before. I think it is a very good idea.

What I would like to see is someone who is willing to transcribe or subtitle some ufo videos. I am an avid ufo/alien researcher.

This is a draft what could appear the list

Italian:
Internos Send U2U

Norwegian
ziggystar60 Send U2U

Portuguese:
ArMaP Send U2U

Romanian:
Trans Send U2U

Spanish:
Camilo1 Send U2U
Angelc01 Send U2U


Of course, this is just a little start, but it should make the the point:
we are missing a lot of cases coming from all around the world just because they are published by local newspapers in local language, or simply we can't access the details because of the language barrier:
it's just an experiment, perhaps it will work, perhaps it won't: but at least, we try

Excellent. Thank you much.

There have been many interesting cases in Poland over the years.. for instance..

The witness from Czestochowa, a photo amateur and sky-watcher presented photos of two round whitish objects taken on 14th of August over Belchatow Power Plant in Lodzkie Wojewodztwo (Central Poland).
The witness was able to observe two round unidentified objects that were constantly disappearing and reappearing over the area for about 3 minutes.
