Local Language Materials?
How important are efforts to translate internet materials into local languages?
Importance:
Crucial; incentives need to be developed to fund translation efforts.
Important, but teaching English literacy is a more sustainable approach.
A waste of time/resources; the internet is so English-dominated that those who cannot understand are finding enrichment through more local modes of communication such as community radio.
