I'll keep an eye on Anki and the Mongolian translation. And while Anglihel.com is our dept website, I do have a personal blog at WanderingTheWorld.com. Although after a year and half, it seems harder and harder to find 'new' things to write about in Mongolia. Take care and maybe our paths will cross some day.... Jim Thanks for the info Charlene.

I did the first rough Mongolian translation of Anki - it's awesome - and I have some shared decks posted, too, though mostly just a mix of words I've been wanting to learn. The software maintainer is quite active about integrating localizations into his work, so it'd be a great project for your students. Here's where people can translate: https://translations.launchpad.net/anki/trunk/+lang/mn Also getting people to put together vocab decks like mongolian< ->japanese or mongolian< ->german and then sharing/uploading them for communal use would be really cool. No use in reinventing the wheel... You essentially create a user account, click on the "untranslated" button, and go to town. If they're further interested in doing that kind of community service and have some computer knowledge, I know the Ubuntu Linux project is in sore need of translators - its link is https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+lang/mn and since both projects are on launchpad you don't need another account. Finally, for fun, there's people localizing facebook and those parts anyone could pretty easily translate, I think. The link should be http://www.facebook.com/#/translations/invite_friends.php?app=1&aloc=mn_MN. Happy new year in about 6 hours! Hey Jim, nice to hear from you.

And here I find another connection back to you, a program called Anki. I'm an ESL Teacher in UB and it would be a great program to recommend to my students. I know they are almost finished translating it into Mongolian, actually it seems so close, do you know the others working on the translation? Is there any way I can help? Even after a year and a half, I can barely say more than sain bainuu in Mongolia, so I'm not much help with translation. But, with so many Mongolians learning Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and of course English, a program like Anki would be extremely valuable.

I think they generally do the same thing, but XAMPP has Perl which I don't use anyway. not sure – haven’t ever used XAMPP.
