Cucumis, free translation community

Michel Bauwens

22nd November 2006

We continue to update our listings of Peer to Peer Exchange services.

Here’s a Paris-based initiative discussed by TechCrunch:

“a community site for people who speak at least two languages and want to trade translation services. Translate text to earn points, then spend the points to have text translated into one of 22 languages. As a user’s reputation grows they earn “expert” status and receive more points for translations. The service itself is free, and Cucumis is a one-man project … It has a strong community a year after launch. Each day, 40 or so texts are translated and 100 new members join.”
