"Orchidaceae: "WUaS-1000 Proposed ISSIP Grand Challenge: An Universal Translator, beginning as a Guidebook with Test" Presentation by Scott MacLeod tomorrow, March 11, 2015 at 7:30 am PT, Your posting this will potentially bring in Turkish speakers who might be interested in contributing to an Universal Translator - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator - which is both like CC Wikipedia and for non-CC related commercial purposes, Turkey and Turkish language WUaS not yet in Turkish"

A specific course in 1000 + languages, such as the California Drivers Handbook and related Test is a far-reachingly great idea for many reasons:
a - it's a building block of an universal translator, both CC and non-CC
b - it could be used to create courses and generate languages and textbooks for languages and innovative ways to learn languages that are dying
c - it could be used to study how students learn at WUaS, inter-lingually and comparatively and with machine learning eventually ...

Hi Universitians,
At Wikidata communications' person Lydia Pintscher's invitation - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/ Wikidata:Project_chat#Landing_ pages_for_partners - I just posted how WUaS would like to donate to and use data in Wikidata:
Hi Lydia, CC World University and School, planned for all of Wikipedia's 288 languages plus more languages, would like to partner with Wikidata to use Wikidata data as WUaS grows with developers, particularly in terms of these main areas: Languages, Nation States, You at WUaS, Subjects, Courses, Musical Resources, Library Resources, Museums, Hardware Resource Possibilities, Educational Software, and Research, and in many languages, as inter-lingual wiki - http:// worlduniversityandschool.org/ - and multilingually, if possible please. What this data is will significantly unfold as WUaS grows. Thank you for offering this "talk" opportunity to explore this further. --Scott_WorldUnivAndSch (talk) 22:50, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi Lydia, CC World University and School, planned for all of Wikipedia's 288 languages plus more languages, would like to partner with Wikidata to donate data to Wikidata - focusing on its basic level of useful information about the world - as WUaS grows with developers, particularly in terms of these main areas: Languages, Nation States, You at WUaS, Subjects, Courses, Musical Resources, Library Resources, Museums, Hardware Resource Possibilities, Educational Software, and Research, and in many languages, as inter-lingual wiki - http:// worlduniversityandschool.org/ - and multilingually, if possible please. What this data is will significantly unfold as WUaS grows. Thank you for offering this "talk" opportunity to explore this further. --Scott_WorldUnivAndSch (talk) 22:51, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
She says she hopes "to move them to the project namespace next weekend." Looking forward to seeing what conversation emerges between Wikidata and WUaS.
Best,
Scott
