Dear all,
Marianne reacted faster than me about French, but I agree that an English/French version would be very welcome. No doubt that it would have a practical interest but it would also have a theoretical one that appears very clearly through the process of translation. I have just seen in Buroker's translation of Port-Royal Logic the French expression "bon argument" (verbatim "good argument") translated by "sound argument". Does "sound" means "good"? Humm.

I think this is a great and necessary enterprise - of course, I feel more concerned with the English-French branch of the project. In this regard, the recent Dictionnaire de l'argumentation by Christian Plantin will certainly be of great help, since he has just published an English version of it (which is not exactly a translation of the French dictionary, but a modified and augmented version of it). If we agree about how to proceed, I can contribute to this part of the project - I think Michel Dufour may also be part of it.

I believe Spanish would be a good start. However, this would be a vast undertaking for just one person. Perhaps a committee should be organized to collect data on it, such as how many members are now from other countries.
Also, perhaps members who have had books translated into different languages could provide some assistance in this matter. Just some thoughts.

Subject: Should AILACT's website be translated into other languages?
Dear all,
The board of directors of AILACT is going to launch a series of questions in order to encourage members to colectively debate and decide about possible ways of invigorating our association. The first question we would like to ask is this:
Expanding the presence of the Argumentation, Critical Thinking and Informal Logic community in non-English speaking countries seems like a sound goal for our association. Do you think it would be a good idea to have our website translated into other languages, like Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, etc.? In case you do, how do you think we should do it? Do you have other ideas to achieve this goal?Kind regards,
Lilian
