A crash course in changing the world.
Suggestion: Add Language Support
A quick suggestion for the EVOKE admins -- add the Google Translate widget to EVOKE. I've seen a number of posts (like A. V. Koshy's and Sarah Shaw Tatoun's, both of which coincidentally respond to a challenge by Alex Stovell) that state, quite correctly, that language is a barrier to participation in EVOKE. The translator widget will automatically translate the contents of the page into any of a long list of languages. It's not perfect, but it may be better than nothing.
I'm certain, in a community of 14,000+ people, that someone has already made this suggestion. I was not able to find it, though. If so, I'd still like to reiterate the request.
Thanks for considering it. I've posted this request both here and on my blog, to increase the chance of it being seen.

Hi Floatstone,
That's odd, I thought I had linked to it in the post. Thanks for noticing that I hadn't! Here is the widget you can add to your own web pages, and here is the translator that you can use to translate other people's text or web pages for yourself.
