[imc-wmass-discuss] Re: Welcome translator from Laredo

[Jane Braaten]

Adriana -
 
I apologize for not being able to respond in Spanish.  Different languages carry different colors, and they are sometimes not equally beautiful.
 
Welcome to Indymedia. Your message was sent to Western Massachussetts, some thousand miles and more from Laredo.  We have a sizable Spanish-speaking community here, and a dire need for Spanish language news outlets/exchange. 
 
If you have a special interest in Western Mass Indymedia, we would love to have you to translate articles on our website (what are your specific issues of interest?). Our site does not now publish in Spanish. But translations of English Indymedia articles into Spanish on our/any Indymedia site would be enormously helpful (You do not need to publish to one Indymedia site alone). 
 
Please be aware that our publications have no 'officially correct version' status and should not be treated as such (This is free speech in practice). You can also publish in Spanish without translation into English (though it helps here if you provide an explanatory title in English)
 
If your first interest is not in Western Massachussetts, there are many Indymedia centers all over the country and the world - the closest geographically to you (that I can find) is in northern Texas (Denton?), www.ntimc.org.
 
Please e-mail me at jbraaten835 at yahoo.com if you are interested.
 
The website for Western Massachussetts Indymedia is http://wmass.indymedia.org.
