Hi Trevor
As an EMAG teacher and also ICT coordinator in an inner-city multiracial
primary school, I would be interested in hearing more about your programs

I wonder if anyone out there is interested in helping to develop some 
multi-lingual software which we have been working on for the last year or 
so?

I work (part-time) for a small family-run company called Resource Education 
which makes educational software and we have (with the help of one or two 
LAs and other local experts) created a way of incorporating a range of 
languages into a number of our Primary programs.  So far we have worked on 
Gujerati, Urdu, Punjabi and Polish (as well as Welsh, Spanish and French) 
but we would like to branch out further as we have discovered there is 
considerabe demand!
The software feature we have created is called Talk-2-Talk and enables 
recorded speech in a program to be spoken twice: once in one language, then 
in another. (Can be used in single language mode as well, of course). As far

as I know, this hasn't been done elsewhere.

I'll keep this brief - but if anyone is interested in getting involved - or 
just making suggestions, please email me  trevor at fernhse.demon.co.uk   We 
would obviously make sure that any help was properly recompensed.
