Thanks and congratulations. I’d love to have an API to the transcript text and metadata. I can imagine some great apps that would come out of that.

I am glad that I could able to contribute this project with my Tamil translation. TED was my all time favourite site. I always try to spread the ideas that shared in the TED and I always ask potential people to join the translation project to make knowledge available to all people. They also love to share their skill with the world. I believe in that, “Sharing is caring”. Thank you TED for giving me the chance to spread the ideas in my language. I am passionate about translate many talks on coming days. Thank you again.

I love that TED recognizes that this project can serve as inspiration for making other web-based projects multilingually available. On a different note: I think that there is also a very important part of the project, i.e. the review. While collaborating on and discussing a review, I and the translator or reviewer can create something that is better than the original. I really like this aspect of the OTP, and I believe the reviewers’ contribution should be appreciated as much as the translators’ :)
