27 LESSONS LEARNED FROM MISTICA AMERICA LATINA AND............................... THE CARIBBEAN LANGUAGE IS NOT ENOUGH CULTURAL FACTOR NEEDS TO BE WORKED OUT (SEE HTTP://CARDICIS.ORG)HTTP://CARDICIS.ORG TRANSLATION BY PROGRAM FOR INDIGENOUS NON MINORITY LANGUAGES A PROBLEM AUTOMATIC TRANSLATION WITHOUT REVISION IS BAD BUT BETTER THAN NOTHING. DEMAND JUMPS!

28 FUNREDES.ORG/TRADAUTO

29 WSIS CIVIL SOCIETY PLENARY DISCUSSION LIST

30 LESSONS LEARNED FROM TRADAUTO I MADE A MISTAKE BY IMPATIENCE (EMEC) I AM STILL CONVINCED THAT AUTOMATIC TRANSLATION WITHOUT HUMAN INTERVENTION IN NONSENSE... BUT PEOPLE NEEDS TO DISCOVER IT BY THEMSELES. THE INTEREST IS STARTING TO ARISE. PEOPLE WILL NOW LEARN MANY LESSONS I HAVE SHOWN HEREAND OTHERS.

31 HTTP://3EL.ORG

32 LESSONS LEARNED FROM 3 LINGUISTIC SPACES MEANINGFUL CONCEPT NEED TO BE OBSERVED AND FOLLOWED IN OTHER NEIGHBOUR LINGUISTIC CONTEXT. CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY MANAGEMENT IS A LOW PROCESS AND MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT IS TO REFORM RADICALLY THE TEACHING OF LANGUAGES IN EDUCATION SYSTEMS. THE EXPERIENCE OF LETTING EACH ONE SPEAKS ITS OWN LANGUAGE IS POSSIBLE IN CLOSE LANGUAGES ENVIRONMENTS, EXTREMELY ENLIGHTNING AND COULD BE USE IN OTHER CONTEXT (see CARDICIS)

33 FINAL CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMANDATIONS LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY IS A KEY MATTER FOR INFORMATION SOCIETY WHICH IRRADIATES ALL ISSUES. CANNOT BE DISSOCIATED FROM CULTURE. PRAGMATISM SOMETIMES STINKS............................ THE MATTERS OF COST/INVESTMENT/PRIORITIES NEED TO BE REVISED. INFORMATION ETHICS MUST CHALLENGE AND BALANCE PRAGMATISM. INFORMATION SOCIETY (WITH OR WITHOUT ICT) NEEDS A COMPLETE REVISION OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE EDUCATION SYSTEM AND VALUES

34 FINAL CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMANDATIONS US IMPLICIT BIAS TO BE ESPECIALLY AVOIDED IN THAT VERY SUBJECT. LISTEN TO LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY IN DIVERSE LANGUAGES! SWITCH BIASES AND PRAGMATIC BALANCE TOWARDS LOCAL/SOUTH/MINORITY/FIELD DONT LET INDICATORS TO THE MARKET! ACADEMY PLEASE COME BACK!!! SUPPORT CIVIL SOCIETY RESEARCH-ACTION

35 A MESSAGE FROM THE FIELD Date: Mon, 02 May 2005 13:07:17 -0500 From: Taran Rampersad To:digitaldivide@milhouse.edc.org, mistica@funredes.org, cardicis.org, icacaribbean@dgroups.orgmistica@funredes.org, icacaribbean@dgroups.org I think Prof. Adama Samasekou of Mali will be playing a key role in this conference on multilinguism at Bamaco. One of the things the conference should promote is setting up open access interoperable institutional archives in all higher education and research institutions all over Africa. That is the only way to make access to research information affordable and on a level playing field. Africa now has the technology (and it is improving all the time). All it needs is the political will. Subbiah Arunachalam
