5.6 billion people speak a language other than English. Let's translate Khan Academy into all of the world's languages!
Khan Academy is an open educational resource serving over 2 million unique users “with the goal of changing education for the better by providing a free world-class education to anyone anywhere” through a library of 2400 videos. We need the Sandlot Hero community to help us with our Khan Academy Translation Project.
If you feel that you are capable of dubbing a video or even re-doing videos in a non-English language, here's a chance to become a hero and minor celebrity to your people. Millions of people could be learning from you across the globe. More importantly, it is a tangible opportunity to leverage your skills and talents to seriously change the world in a very good way. For all we know, students 25 years from now may be learning negative numbers from YOU! This might even be a way to preserve languages.
We are recruiting volunteer translators for Arabic, French, Hindi-Urdu, Mandarin, Russian, Bengali, German, Indonesian, Portuguese, Spanish, and other languages. Please check out Khan's Academy Translation Project by following the link below.
