Today TED’s Open Translation Project published the 15,000th TEDTalk translation! Last year at TEDActive, TED translators set an ambitious goal to reach 15,000 translations by TEDActive2011.

May be if we allow and invite translations of the TEDX talks as well in parallel, the spread and speed will be faster and even more phenomenal next year!
